Calculate Maintenance Calories

When calculating your maintenance calories, we take into account your activity level to give you a more tailored estimate. The more active you are, the more calories your body needs to maintain its current weight. Here’s a quick breakdown of each activity level:

  • Sedentary (Little to no exercise): For those who sit most of the day or don’t get regular physical activity. Your calorie needs are lower since your body doesn’t burn a lot of extra energy.

  • Lightly Active (Light exercise or sports 1-3 days a week): For people who do some light exercise, like walking, yoga, or light workouts a couple of times a week. You burn more calories than someone sedentary, but it’s not intense activity.

  • Moderately Active (Moderate exercise or sports 3-5 days a week): For those who work out regularly with moderate-intensity exercise—like jogging, cycling, or strength training sessions.

  • Very Active (Hard exercise or sports 6-7 days a week): For people who train hard and frequently, including high-intensity cardio or heavy weightlifting, several times a week.

  • Super Active (Very hard exercise or a physically demanding job): For athletes or those with physically demanding jobs, like construction or manual labor. Your body requires significantly more calories to keep up with both your training and daily tasks.
