What is "Daily Calories"?

Daily calorie targets should be based on maintenance first, then adjusted for fat loss or muscle gain.

Example: A calorie target fails more often from being unrealistic than from being mathematically off by a small amount.

Qu'est-ce que l'équation de Mifflin-St Jeor ?

L'équation de Mifflin-St Jeor, développée en 1990, est actuellement considérée comme la formule la plus précise pour calculer le taux métabolique de base (TMB). Elle est recommandée par l'Association diététique américaine.

La formule

👨 Homme : TMB = 10×poids(kg) + 6,25×taille(cm) - 5×âge + 5

👩 Femme : TMB = 10×poids(kg) + 6,25×taille(cm) - 5×âge - 161

Qu'est-ce que la DEQT ?

La DEQT (Dépense énergétique quotidienne totale) est le nombre total de calories que vous brûlez chaque jour. Elle est calculée en multipliant votre TMB par un facteur d'activité.

Activity Multipliers

Activity LevelMultiplierDescription
Sédentaire (peu ou pas d'exercice)1.2Desk job, no exercise
Léger (exercice 1-3 jours/semaine)1.375Light exercise 1-3 days/week
Modéré (exercice 3-5 jours/semaine)1.55Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week
Actif (exercice 6-7 jours/semaine)1.725Hard exercise 6-7 days/week
Très actif (exercice intense quotidien ou travail physique)1.9Very hard exercise or physical job

Conseils pour une alimentation saine

  • ✓Évitez la restriction calorique extrême (maintenez au moins 80% de la DEQT)
  • ✓Obtenez suffisamment de protéines (1,6-2,2 g par kg de poids corporel)
  • ✓Restez hydraté (au moins 2L d'eau par jour)
  • ✓Mangez des aliments riches en fibres

Scenario 1

Run a realistic baseline first

Result

See the first decision threshold quickly

A rough baseline is better than guessing.

Scenario 2

Change one major variable

Result

Watch how decision quality changes

Structure often matters more than the headline number.

Scenario 3

Use a more conservative assumption

Result

Stress-test the plan before committing

Conservative assumptions usually create better real-world plans.

Expert Tip

Long-term diet success usually comes from starting with a modest deficit, not the lowest number you can tolerate. When progress stalls, adjust activity and tracking accuracy before slashing calories again.

Questions fréquentes

What should I look at first in this calculator?

Start with the assumption that changes the result most. This tool is most useful for setting a decision baseline, not pretending the first number is perfect.

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the minimum calories your body burns at rest. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is your total daily calorie burn including BMR plus daily activities and exercise.

What is the Mifflin-St Jeor equation?

The Mifflin-St Jeor equation, developed in 1990, is currently considered the most accurate formula for calculating BMR. It is recommended by the American Dietetic Association.

📌 Key Takeaways

  • 📌Calorie goals should usually be based on TDEE, not BMR
  • ⚖️A 300-500 calorie deficit is often easier to sustain than a crash diet
  • 🏃If activity changes, old calorie targets can become inaccurate fast
  • 🥗Calories work better when paired with protein and sustainable meal structure

📊 The Science Behind Calorie Calculation

What is BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum number of calories your body needs at complete rest for basic life functions like breathing, temperature regulation, and cell activity. Simply put, it's the energy you burn in 24 hours while doing nothing. This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, currently recognized as the most accurate BMR calculation method.

What is TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)?

TDEE is your total daily calorie expenditure, combining BMR with daily activities and exercise. It's calculated by multiplying BMR by an activity factor based on your lifestyle. Knowing your TDEE helps you set accurate calorie goals for weight loss (eat less than TDEE), maintenance (eat TDEE), or weight gain (eat more than TDEE).

💡 Activity Factor Guide

  • • Sedentary (1.2): Office work, little exercise
  • • Light (1.375): Light exercise 1-3 days/week
  • • Moderate (1.55): Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week
  • • Active (1.725): Hard exercise 6-7 days/week
  • • Very Active (1.9): Physical job or training twice daily
