🍽️ Daily Calorie Calculator

Tell this calculator your details and your goal — lose, maintain or gain weight — and get a daily calorie target based on your real energy needs, with a built-in safety minimum.

How to use the Daily Calorie Calculator

  1. Select your gender and enter your age, weight (kg) and height (cm).
  2. Choose your activity level and your goal.
  3. Press Calculate — your daily calorie target appears below.
Example: A 30-year-old man, 70 kg, 175 cm, moderately active: maintenance is about 2,556 kcal per day, so the target to lose weight is about 2,056 kcal and to gain is about 3,056 kcal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast will I lose weight on the target?

The target uses a 500 kcal daily deficit, which changes weight by roughly 0.5 kg per week — a steady, sustainable pace.

Why is there a minimum of 1,200 kcal?

Eating fewer than 1,200 kcal per day risks nutrient deficiencies and is not recommended without medical supervision, so this calculator never suggests less.

Should I follow this as a diet plan?

It is a starting target, not a personal plan. For medical conditions, pregnancy or a structured diet, please consult a doctor or dietitian.
