Calories Requirement Calculators For Adults

These Calorie calculators provide information for weight maintenance and are based on the information you provide, such as; height, weight, age, and activity level.

If you are overweight or underweight the calculation may be high or may be low. You can choose a healthy weight for yourself and use that weight in the calculation.

If your goal is to lose weight, say, 1 pound per week, subtract 500 calories per day from the current daily intake. If your goal is to gain weight, say, 1 pound per week, add 500 calories per day to the current daily intake. Theoretically this works because 1 pound of fat represents 3500 calories (500 calories per day multiplied by 7 days equals 3500 calories). If you have questions regarding your weight and calorie intake, you should visit a registered dietician.
