Get your maintenance calories, a target for cutting, maintaining, or bulking, and daily protein, carbs, and fat in under a minute.

Heads up: these results are estimates, not medical advice. Individual needs vary. If you are pregnant, have a medical condition, or a history of disordered eating, talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before changing your diet.
Guide
Add age, sex, height, and weight. Switch between lb/kg and ft-in/cm anytime — values convert automatically.
Be honest. Most people overestimate. If unsure, choose one level lower.
Cut to lose fat, maintain to hold steady, or bulk to build muscle with minimal fat gain.
Follow your targets for 2–3 weeks. If your weight isn't moving as expected, adjust calories by 100–200.
The science
Mifflin-St Jeor equation — among the most accurate formulas for most adults. Men: 10×kg + 6.25×cm − 5×age + 5. Women: same, −161.
BMR × activity multiplier: 1.2 (sedentary), 1.375, 1.55, 1.725, up to 1.9 (athlete).
Cut: 20% below maintenance. Maintain: at maintenance. Bulk: 10% above (lean bulk). Targets never drop below 1,500 kcal (men) or 1,200 kcal (women).
2.2 g/kg when cutting to protect muscle; 1.8 g/kg when maintaining or bulking — in line with sports-nutrition research (1.6–2.2 g/kg).
25–28% of calories, with a minimum of 0.6 g/kg to support hormone health.
Remaining calories fill carbs to fuel training. Protein & carbs = 4 kcal/g, fat = 9 kcal/g.
Formulas don't account for body-fat percentage, so very muscular or very high body-fat individuals may see larger errors.
