About Maintenance Calorie Calculator

Our Mission

Founded in 2023, CalorieCalcPro was created to provide accurate, accessible calorie calculations for people pursuing health and fitness goals. We believe understanding your energy needs is the foundation of effective nutrition planning.

How Our Calculator Works

Our calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, recognized as the most accurate basal metabolic rate (BMR) formula by the American Dietetic Association. We combine this with activity multipliers based on your:

• Exercise duration and intensity
• Daily step count
• Sleep patterns
• Occupation activity level

The result is a personalized estimate of your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) - the calories you need to maintain your current weight.

Why Accuracy Matters

Most calculators overestimate calorie needs by 15-20% by using outdated formulas. Our algorithm:

• Adjusts for body composition differences
• Accounts for modern sedentary lifestyles
• Incorporates NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis)
• Adjusts for sleep recovery factors

This precision helps you avoid the common frustration of not seeing results despite "eating right".

Our Commitment

We're committed to:

• Providing free access to accurate calculations
• Never selling or sharing user data
• Regularly updating our algorithms based on new research
• Explaining the science behind our calculations
