Calorie Surplus Calculator

Calculate an estimated calorie target from maintenance and a configurable surplus.

Estimated result

The energy equivalent is theoretical; actual weight does not change linearly or predictably.

Adding a surplus

The tool adds an amount or percentage to estimated maintenance and reports daily and weekly adjustment.

Weight is not the same as muscle

Change composition depends on training, diet, and individual factors; the formula cannot predict it.
