Calorie Counter with Macronutrients
(Protein, Carbs & Fat)

The calorie calculator utilizes the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, a widely recognized method for estimating calorie needs. It factors in bodyweight and activity level to determine calorie maintenance, which is the number of calories required to maintain current weight. The protein intake recommendation of 2.2 grams per kilogram of bodyweight is based on the general guideline for muscle gain. The fat intake is set to 25% of total calories, while the remaining calories are allocated to carbohydrates. These macronutrient breakdowns are commonly recommended in the field of nutrition. While this calculator provides estimates, it's essential to consult with a qualified professional for personalized advice based on individual circumstances and goals.
