MaintenanceCalorie Calculator

Your maintenance calories are the daily total that keeps your weight where it is — no loss, no gain. It's the number every other target is built from. Two short steps, no sign-up.

01

What maintenance means

The calories you use in a full day — resting energy plus everything you do on top of it. Eat around that amount and your weight should remain broadly steady.

02

How we work it out

Your resting energy comes from the Mifflin–St Jeor equation using age, height, weight and sex at birth. We then apply an activity multiplier to estimate TDEE.

03

How to use the estimate

Treat the result as a practical starting point rather than an exact prescription. Individual energy needs vary and can change over time.

Three numbers and one selection. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.

Sex at birth *

Sex at birth is used because the equation accounts for biological differences in resting energy expenditure, rather than gender identity.

Age 18+, height, weight and sex are required.

A number is a start. A plan is the rest.
