Important Note

These calculations provide estimates only. Individual results may vary based on metabolism, body composition, and other factors. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Understanding Your Calorie Needs

Weight Loss

Create a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than your TDEE. Aim for 500 calories below maintenance for 1 lb weekly loss.

Maintenance

Consume calories equal to your TDEE to maintain current weight. This is your baseline for any body composition goals.

Weight Gain

Create a calorie surplus by consuming more calories than your TDEE. Focus on nutrient-dense foods for quality weight gain.
