An estimate, with a floor
What your body uses in a day
An average from a published equation — and a number this tool will not go below, whatever you type.
Whatever the estimate says, the next step is the same. An assessment measures your blood sugar, your lipids and your liver — none of which an equation can estimate — and a doctor reads the results first. If there is nothing to treat, we will tell you, and you will not be sold a programme.

The floor
It will not show you anything below 1,200 kcal
Calculators in this category do print numbers in the hundreds, for inputs they accept without complaint. That is the failure this one is built around.
- Below 1,200 kcal a day for women and 1,500 for men, eating is a supervised clinical intervention with blood tests and monitoring behind it. It is not something a form should hand you.
- So when the arithmetic lands under the floor, this shows nothing at all and tells you why. A blank result is not a bug — a confident dangerous figure would be.
- It also subtracts nothing. There is no deficit here, no target, and no date, because deciding what somebody should eat is a clinical decision that comes after blood work.
- The equation is a population average. Two people with identical inputs can genuinely differ by several hundred kcal, so treat this as an order of magnitude rather than a fact about you.
If you want to know something real
An equation cannot see your thyroid, your insulin or your liver
Those are measured, not estimated. That is what the health assessment is.
