Calorie Calculator

One important component of nutrition analysis and planning is energy intake, i.e. the calorific value of food consumed.

For an estimated value of your personal energy needs you can use the Absolute Fitness Calorie Calculator.

The Calorie Calculator is based on the Harris-Benedict Equation which estimates Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). 

BMR is an estimate of energy expended at rest (per day).

The values calculated are a guideline and may need adjusting depending on various individual factors. 

What the estimate tells you is your recommended calorie intake, if you want to maintain your current body composition. 

If you would like to make a change to your body composition, it is best to have a discussion with a coach who can advise on the best way to achieve your goals in the most sustainable and safe way.
