Let's face it, we all love food. Some of us just love it a little too much (or too little). Whether you're trying to bulk up, slim down, or just maintain your current magnificent form, knowing your calorie needs is step one.
This isn't about starving yourself or living on kale. It's about understanding the energy balance your body needs to hit your goals without feeling like you're running a marathon uphill, both ways, in the snow.
Q: Is this a diet plan?
A: Nope. We just give you the numbers. What you do with them is between you and your snack drawer.
Q: How accurate is it?
A: It uses established formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor, Harris-Benedict, Katch-McArdle), so it's pretty reliable for general estimates. If you need pinpoint accuracy, consult a nutritionist, not a website run by digital gremlins.
Q: Can I eat anything as long as I stay within my calories?
A: Technically, yes. But your body will probably hate you if you only eat pizza. Balance, friend, balance.
