How This Works

BMR Calculation

Uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate your basal metabolic rate - the minimum calories your body needs at rest.

TDEE Calculation

Multiplies your BMR by an activity factor to estimate total daily energy expenditure based on your lifestyle.

Weight Goals

Uses standard calorie deficits/surpluses (500 cal loss, 300 cal gain) to estimate weight change rates.
