How these calculators work

Most of these calculators run a published formula on the numbers you enter, such as Mifflin-St Jeor for daily calories or Epley for a one rep max. A few, like the fasting timer and the restaurant calorie tools, track time or look up menu data instead.

Treat each result as an estimate. A lab test, a DEXA scan or a true max attempt will give you a different number, so start with the estimate, track for two to four weeks, then adjust.

The calculators are free and show your result without an account. Our editorial process sets out the standards behind them.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are online fitness calculators?

They give you an estimate. The formulas behind them, such as Mifflin-St Jeor for calories and the U.S. Navy method for body fat, come from published research, but your own numbers can differ. Use the result as a starting point and adjust it after two to four weeks of tracking.

Which calculator should I start with?

Start with the TDEE calculator to find how many calories you burn a day, then use the macro calculator to split them into protein, carbs and fat. If you lift, add the one rep max calculator to set your training weights.

Do I need an account to use these calculators?

No. The calculators are free and show your result without an account or an email address.

How often should I recalculate my TDEE and macros?

Every 4 to 6 weeks, or sooner if your weight changes by more than 5 pounds, your activity level changes or you start a new program. You burn fewer calories as you lose weight, so a target you set months ago will stop working.

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR (basal metabolic rate) is the calories your body burns at complete rest. TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) adds the calories you burn through exercise, daily movement and digesting food. Plan your eating around TDEE.
