About This Physical Activity Calculator
Our Physical Activity Calculator uses the scientifically validated Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and daily calorie needs. Suitable for adults of all fitness levels, this tool helps you understand how many calories your body needs based on your specific activity level.
How to Calculate Daily Calorie Needs
- First, your BMR is calculated using your age, gender, height, and weight
- Then, we apply an activity multiplier based on your exercise frequency
- Sedentary lifestyle: BMR × 1.2
- Moderate activity: BMR × 1.55
- Very active lifestyle: BMR × 1.725
- Results show maintenance, weight loss, and weight gain calories
BMR and Calorie Burn Explained
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the energy your body needs to perform essential functions at rest. Your daily calorie expenditure increases with physical activity, which is why active individuals require more calories to maintain their weight.
Understanding your unique calorie needs can help with weight management, athletic performance, and overall health maintenance.

Why Track Physical Activity and Calories?
Regular physical activity reduces the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. It also improves mental health, sleep quality, and helps maintain a healthy weight. Understanding your calorie needs ensures you fuel your body appropriately for your activity level and goals.
Calorie Burn Rates by Exercise Type
- Running (10 km/h): ~700-800 calories/hour
- Swimming: ~500-700 calories/hour
- Cycling (moderate): ~400-600 calories/hour
- Weight training: ~300-400 calories/hour
- Yoga: ~200-300 calories/hour
- Walking (5 km/h): ~200-300 calories/hour
Calorie burn varies based on body weight, intensity, and fitness level.
