How to use these health calculators

Most health and fitness planning is easier when you start with energy balance. Get a reasonable estimate of maintenance calories, then choose a goal (lose fat, maintain, gain muscle) and make small adjustments based on weekly trends.

Recommended order:

  1. Estimate maintenance with the TDEE Calculator.
  2. Convert maintenance into a target using the Calorie Deficit Calculator.
  3. Track body composition context with the Body Fat Calculatorand use the Ideal Body Weight Calculatoras a simple height-based reference.

The core idea: maintenance + adjustment

Maintenance calories are the level where your weight tends to stay stable over time. A cut or bulk is simply an adjustment above or below that baseline.

Target calories = TDEE ± adjustment

Example: if TDEE is 2,400 and you cut 400 calories, target = 2,000 kcal/day

The “right” adjustment is the one you can stick to while sleeping well, training effectively, and maintaining reasonable hunger levels.

Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

  • Choosing an activity level that overestimates your average movement.
  • Going too aggressive on deficit and burning out after 1–2 weeks.
  • Judging progress by day-to-day scale weight rather than weekly averages.
  • Expecting perfect precision: calculators are estimates—use them to iterate.
