Calorie Calculator for Daily Targets and Macros
This calculator estimates your basal metabolic rate, adjusts it for your activity level, then applies your goal to create a practical daily calorie target. It also shows protein, carbs, and fats so the number is easier to turn into real meals.
| Goal | Calorie Strategy | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Fat loss | Moderate deficit | Losing fat while preserving muscle. |
| Maintenance | TDEE baseline | Recomposition, performance, and habit tracking. |
| Muscle gain | Controlled surplus | Supporting recovery and lean mass gain. |
How the Calorie Calculator Works
ShedBody uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate BMR, then multiplies it by activity level to estimate TDEE. Your selected goal changes the final calorie target, and the nearest matching diet template is pulled from the ShedBody diet library.
