What This Estimate Means

At 5 ft 6 in (168 cm), 137 lb (62 kg), and a very active routine, this example estimates maintenance at 2,379 calories per day. The estimate depends on the selected activity level as well as height, weight, age, and sex.

Practical Tip

If you combine regular training with an active job, commuting by foot or bike, or frequent walking, include those habits when assessing your activity level. If your routine becomes less demanding during a break or recovery period, recalculate using your new normal schedule.
