Calculate calories and nutrition for thousands of foods. Search foods, build meals, track macros, and estimate daily calorie needs with BMR/TDEE calculator.
A food calories calculator helps you track the calorie and macronutrient content of the foods you eat. With a database of over 484 foods across 17 categories, you can search for any common food, adjust portion sizes, and build complete meals to see total nutritional breakdown.
Understanding the calories in your food is essential for weight management, athletic performance, and overall health. This calculator provides detailed nutrition information including calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber for each food item. You can also add custom foods to personalize your tracking.
Select 'Chicken Breast' and enter 200g. The calculator shows 330 calories, 62g protein, 0g carbs, and 7.2g fat. Add 150g of rice (195 calories) and 100g of broccoli (34 calories) for a complete meal totaling 559 calories.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs at complete rest to maintain vital functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production. It accounts for about 60-75% of your total daily calorie burn.
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is your BMR multiplied by an activity factor. It represents the total calories you burn in a day, including physical activity and digestion. This is the number to use for weight management.
Men: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age + 5
Women: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age - 161
Activity levels adjust your BMR to estimate TDEE: Sedentary (×1.2 — little or no exercise), Light (×1.375 — 1-3 days/week), Moderate (×1.55 — 3-5 days/week), Active (×1.725 — 6-7 days/week), Very Active (×1.9 — intense daily exercise or physical job).
To lose weight, consume fewer calories than your TDEE (deficit of 300-500 kcal/day for 0.5 kg/week). To gain weight, consume more (surplus of 300-500 kcal/day). For maintenance, match your TDEE. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any diet.
