Formula Used

BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age + s
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor
Target Calories = TDEE × Goal Factor

Where:

BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned at rest)
TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure
s = +5 for males, -161 for females
Activity Factor = 1.2-1.9 based on activity level
Goal Factor = 0.85 for fat loss, 1.0 for maintenance, 1.15 for muscle gain

Example Calculation

Real-World Scenario:

A 30-year-old male, 180cm tall, weighing 80kg, who exercises 3-5 days a week and wants to lose fat.

Given:

Age = 30 years
Gender = Male
Height = 180 cm
Weight = 80 kg
Activity Level = Moderately active (1.55)
Goal = Fat Loss (0.85 factor)

Calculation:

BMR = (10 × 80) + (6.25 × 180) - (5 × 30) + 5 = 800 + 1125 - 150 + 5 = 1780 calories

TDEE = 1780 × 1.55 = 2759 calories

Target Calories = 2759 × 0.85 = 2345 calories

Result: 2345 calories daily with macros: Protein (188g), Carbs (234g), Fat (65g)

Common Mistakes & Tips

Many people don't consume enough protein, especially when trying to lose fat. Aim for 1.6-2.2g per kg of bodyweight to preserve muscle mass and promote satiety. Spread protein intake throughout the day rather than consuming most in one meal.

Creating too large of a calorie deficit can lead to muscle loss, metabolic adaptation, and nutrient deficiencies. A moderate deficit of 15-20% below maintenance calories is typically optimal for sustainable fat loss while preserving muscle mass.

Your activity level may change over time. Recalculate your macros every 4-6 weeks or whenever your activity level significantly changes. This ensures your nutrition plan continues to align with your current needs and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's recommended to recalculate your macros every 4-6 weeks or when you've lost or gained 5-10 pounds (2.2-4.5kg). This accounts for changes in your body composition and metabolic adaptations.

Yes, consistency is key. While you might slightly reduce carbohydrates on rest days (especially if you're in a fat loss phase), maintaining consistent protein intake is crucial for muscle repair and recovery.

Yes, this is called body recomposition and is most achievable for beginners, those returning after a break, or individuals with higher body fat percentages. It requires adequate protein (2.0-2.2g/kg), resistance training, and a small calorie deficit or maintenance calories.

Accuracy Notice

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation which has been shown to be more accurate than other formulas for calculating BMR. However, individual metabolic rates can vary by up to 25% from calculated values. Monitor your progress and adjust your intake based on your actual results rather than relying solely on calculated values.
