How Calorie Calculation Works

Understanding your body's energy needs

1

Calculate BMR

We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to determine your Basal Metabolic Rate - the calories your body needs at rest.

2

Adjust for Activity

Multiply your BMR by your activity level factor to get your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).

3

Apply Your Goal

Adjust calories based on your weight goal (lose, maintain, or gain) and calculate optimal macro distribution.
