BMI Calories - Free Health and Fitness Calculators -

Calorie Intake Calculator

The daily calorie intake calculator estimates your daily calories requirements in order to maintain, lose or gain weigh based on your BMR (weight, height, age and gender) and physical exercise level.

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) represents an estimate of calories burned while resting and it is measured in kilo joules per hour per kilogram of body mass.

A restful state refers to the energy sufficient only for the functioning of the vital organs: the heart, lungs, nervous system, kidneys, liver, intestine, sex organs, muscles, brain and skin.

The referenced formulas used to calculate the daily calorie expenditure based on physical activity levels are listed below along with a section on calories burned based on specific physical activity type.

Calories = 2766 Kcal/day

To maintain your weight you need 2,207 Kcal/day
To lose 0.5 kg per week you need 1,707 Kcal/day
To lose 1 kg per week you need 1,207 Kcal/day
To gain 0.5 kg per week you need 2,707 Kcal/day
To gain 1 kg per week you need 3,207 Kcal/day

Basal Metabolic Rate Formulas

The most commonly used estimation formulas in BMR calculations are:

  • The Original Harris-Benedict Equation
    • Men BMR = 66.4730 + (13.7516 x weight in kg) + (5.0033 x height in cm) – (6.7550 x age in years)
    • Women BMR = 655.0955 + (9.5634 x weight in kg) + (1.8496 x height in cm) – (4.6756 x age in years)
  • The Revised Harris-Benedict Equation
    • Men BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 x weight in kg) + (4.799 x height in cm) - (5.677 x age in years)
    • Women BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.098 x height in cm) - (4.330 x age in years)
  • The Mifflin St Jeor Equation
    • Men BMR = (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) - (5 x age in years) + 5 (measured in Kcal/day)
    • Women BMR = (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) - (5 x age in years) - 161 (measured in Kcal/day)
  • The Katch-McArdle Formula (Resting Daily Energy Expenditure)
    • BMR = 370 + (21.6 x LBM) - LBM = lean body mass in Kg
  • The Cunningham Formula (RMR)
    • BMR = 500 + (22 x LBM) - LBM = lean body mass in Kg

Applying the Harris-Benedict Principle for physical activity level

The following table enables calculation of an individual's recommended daily Kilocalorie intake to maintain current weight.

Exercise level Daily Calories Required (Kcal/day)
Little to no exercise Daily kilocalories needed = BMR x 1.2
Light exercise (1–3 days per week) Daily kilocalories needed = BMR x 1.375
Moderate exercise (3–5 days per week) Daily kilocalories needed = BMR x 1.55
Heavy exercise (6–7 days per week) Daily kilocalories needed = BMR x 1.725
Very heavy exercise (twice per day, extra heavy workouts) Daily kilocalories needed = BMR x 1.9

Calories burned depending on physical activity type
