Calorie Needs Calculator

This is a simple starting point to establish how many calories you need a day. Simply enter your details below and hit the calculate button to find out your daily calorific needs.


Your activity factor:		Male	Female

Basic	Basic daily activites (no physical activity)

Inactive	You just walk to and from the car, classify yourself as inactive.

Lightly Active	You take a daily 30 minute stroll or 30 minute brisk walk 1 - 3 days a week classify yourself as lightly active.

Moderately Active	You're moderately active if you do a 30-minute brisk walk 3 or more days a week and a non desk job.

Very Active	If you take 30 minutes of exercise like running 3 to 5 days a weeks as well as an active job.

The result is a number of calories you need daily to stay at your current daily weight.

To lose a pound a week, it is widely stated to cut your calories by 500 a day. In practice a combination of both reducing calorie intake and increasing moderate to vigorous physical activity reaps best results. You'll find Joanna's books, pedometers and DVD's a real help on your road to a fit and healthy body.

If your calorie intake is already quite low, focus on increasing your physical activity levels and achieving a consistent intake of calories, in my experience wide fluctuations in daily calorie intake often proves a significant stumbling block for individuals wishing to keep that weight off.
