How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

A deficit of 500 calories per day leads to approximately 1 pound of weight loss per week. The calculator shows your maintenance calories so you can subtract from there.

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories your body burns each day, accounting for your basal metabolic rate and activity level.

How accurate is the calorie calculator?

Calorie calculators give a solid estimate, but individual variation exists. Track your weight over 2–3 weeks and adjust intake if you're not seeing expected results.
