How Many Calories Should I Eat Per Day?
Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) depends on age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. Average adults need 1,600–2,400 calories/day. To lose 1 lb/week, subtract 500 calories/day from your TDEE. To gain, add 300–500.

Macros Explained: Protein, Carbs, and Fat
A balanced macro split: 45–65% carbs, 20–35% fat, 10–35% protein. For weight loss, higher protein (30–40%) helps preserve muscle while in a calorie deficit. Each gram of protein/carbs = 4 calories; each gram of fat = 9 calories.

Common Calorie Questions

Answers to the most common questions about calorie — reviewed by our medical editorial team.

Create a calorie deficit of 500–750 calories per day to lose 1–1.5 lbs per week. First calculate your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure), then subtract your target deficit. Don't go below 1,200 calories/day (women) or 1,500 (men) without medical supervision.
TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the total number of calories you burn per day including exercise and daily activity. Eating below your TDEE causes weight loss; eating above causes weight gain. Use a TDEE calculator (available free online) as your baseline.
Use free apps like MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, or Lose It!. For the most accurate data, weigh your food with a kitchen scale (±10g accuracy). Restaurant meals are notoriously under-reported — add 20–30% to menu estimates.
Not necessarily — many people succeed with portion control, eating slower, and choosing high-volume/low-calorie foods. But calorie tracking provides the most accurate feedback and is backed by strong evidence. Even tracking for 2–4 weeks builds long-term intuition.
