Calorie Calculator for Women
Accurate calorie needs specifically for women. Accounts for female metabolic adjustments.
Female Metabolism & Calories
Lower BMR than Men
Generally, women have a lower Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) than men of the same weight due to having less muscle mass naturally. Our calculator adjusts for this automatically.
Hormonal Fluctuations
Your calorie needs can technically increase slightly (100-300 kcal) during the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle (the week before your period) as your body temperature rises.
⚠️ Minimum Intake
Women should generally not eat below 1,200 calories per day. Going this low can disrupt hormones, cause hair loss, and stop your period (amenorrhea).
