Frequently Asked Questions

How are my daily calories calculated?
This tool calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the highly accurate Mifflin-St Jeor equation, and then multiplies it by your selected physical activity level to determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).
How many calories should I cut to lose weight?
A generally safe and sustainable rate of fat loss is about 1 to 2 pounds per week, which typically requires a daily caloric deficit of roughly 500 to 1,000 calories below your maintenance TDEE.
Are these results perfectly accurate?
These results are an excellent scientific estimate to start your diet. However, individual metabolisms vary, so treat this number as a baseline and adjust based on your real-world progress.
