What Is a Calorie Calculator?

A calorie calculator estimates how many calories a person may need each day based on factors such as age, sex, height, weight and physical activity.

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then applies an activity multiplier to estimate daily calorie needs.

Fashnza's Calorie Calculator provides a convenient estimate for general informational purposes.
