About CalorieFig
Free, accurate, science-based calorie calculators that help you understand your metabolism and reach your fitness goals — no sign-up, no tracking, no paywalls.
Who runs CalorieFig
CalorieFig is an independent editorial research project run by The CalorieFig Editorial Team. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any hospital, clinic, university, supplement or app vendor, or medical organization — and we do not provide medical care. The team is responsible for every page, figure and tool on this site.
Our Mission
CalorieFig exists to make accurate, science-based calorie calculators available to everyone, for free. We believe understanding your daily energy needs should not require a paid app, an account, or handing over your personal health data. Every calculator on CalorieFig runs entirely in your browser, applies peer-reviewed formulas like Mifflin-St Jeor, and returns instant results you can act on right away.
Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, or simply understanding your maintenance calories, we want to give you the numbers — and the context — to make informed decisions about your nutrition.

Our approach
Data on CalorieFig is compiled from peer-reviewed, published sources — including the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, validated activity multipliers, and nutrition guidance from organizations such as the USDA and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics — with retrieval dates on every page. Every figure is verified against a primary source before publication; anything unverified is marked as pending or omitted entirely. Formulas and guidelines are reviewed regularly and updated when they change.
What we are not
We are not a medical practice, a dietitian or nutrition practice, a laboratory, or a product vendor. Where apps, supplements, or professional services help, we may point to reputable third parties, but we hold no special endorsement from them and our recommendations are never paid for. Health information changes — always confirm with a registered dietitian or qualified healthcare provider before acting.
