Estimated BMR
Energy used at complete rest for basic functions such as breathing and circulation.

Advanced BMR & Daily Calorie Calculator
Use the FitPanjab BMR calculator to estimate how many calories your body burns at rest, your daily calorie needs, maintenance calories, BMI and daily macros. Results are starting estimates, and individual needs can vary.
YOUR RESULTS
Daily calorie and macro estimates
Estimated TDEE / Maintenance
Estimated daily energy use after your selected activity level is included.
Goal calorie range
Estimated BMI
BMI does not distinguish muscle from body fat and can be less informative for muscular people.
Protein target
Fat target
Carbohydrate target
Lean body mass
Lean Body Mass BMR Estimate: . This requires a reasonably accurate body-fat estimate.
Macro targets are starting estimates and can be adjusted based on progress, training performance, hunger, recovery and preferences.
Calculator results are estimates for general fitness and educational purposes. Individual energy and nutrition needs may vary.
What Is BMR?
BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate: the energy your body uses at rest to support breathing, circulation, temperature regulation and other essential functions. A BMR calculator estimates this baseline rather than the calories used through daily movement.
How Is BMR Calculated?
The primary estimate uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which considers age, height, weight and the sex value used by the equation. When body-fat information is supplied, the calculator also shows a Katch-McArdle estimate based on lean body mass.
BMR vs TDEE: What’s the Difference?
BMR estimates energy required at rest. TDEE estimates total daily energy after activity is included. A TDEE calculator applies an activity multiplier to BMR to estimate maintenance calories and daily calorie needs.
How Many Calories Do I Need Per Day?
If you are asking “how many calories do I need per day?”, consider age, body size, activity, training, lifestyle, goal and individual metabolism. Use the result as a starting point and adjust using several weeks of real progress.
How Many Calories Should I Eat for Fat Loss?
Fat loss generally requires eating less energy than the body uses over time. This fat loss calorie calculator uses a moderate 10–20% range rather than a crash diet. A sustainable fat loss workout plan and appropriate nutrition can support the process.
How Many Calories Should I Eat to Build Muscle?
A muscle gain calorie calculator can provide a modest surplus, but resistance training, protein, recovery and consistency remain essential. An excessively large surplus is unnecessary. Compare the hypertrophy workout program and muscle building workout plan.
What Are Maintenance Calories?
Maintenance calories estimate the intake at which body weight may remain relatively stable over time. To calculate maintenance calories, begin with TDEE and compare the estimate with changes in average body weight, training and activity.
Choose Training That Fits
New trainees can explore the beginner workout plan. Other options include the home workout plan, strength training program, personalized nutrition plan and personalized workout plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BMR calculator?
It estimates the calories your body uses at complete rest. It does not include normal movement, training or other daily activity.
Is BMR the same as maintenance calories?
No. BMR covers energy at rest, while maintenance calories include estimated activity through TDEE.
What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure estimates how much energy you use in a day after an activity multiplier is applied to BMR.
How accurate is a BMR calculator?
It provides an evidence-based estimate, not a precise measurement. Track real trends and adjust because individual metabolism and activity can differ.
How many calories should I eat per day?
Start with the range produced for your goal, then monitor energy, performance and body-weight trends over several weeks.
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
A moderate deficit below maintenance is commonly used. Avoid aggressive restriction and seek individualized professional guidance when appropriate.
How many calories should I eat to build muscle?
A small surplus above maintenance can support muscle building alongside resistance training, adequate protein and recovery.
Should I eat below my BMR?
BMR is not a personal intake prescription. Very low intakes can be difficult to sustain, so use a moderate approach and seek qualified guidance for individual needs.
Why does activity level affect calorie needs?
Movement, training and physical work require energy. Higher activity multipliers therefore produce higher estimated TDEE values.
How often should I recalculate my calories?
Recalculate after a meaningful change in body weight, activity, training or goal—not because of normal day-to-day fluctuations.
Is BMI accurate for muscular people?
BMI does not separate muscle from body fat, so it can be less informative for people carrying substantial muscle mass.
How much protein do I need per day?
Needs depend on body size, goal and training. This calculator uses a practical weight-based target and moderates unusually high estimates.
