What This Estimate Means

At 5 ft 3 in (160 cm), 143 lb (65 kg), and a lightly active routine, this example estimates maintenance at 1,704 calories per day. It is an approximate daily energy estimate, not a personal health assessment or an exact intake requirement.

Practical Tip

If your weekly schedule includes a mix of walking, errands, and occasional workouts, consider how often those activities happen—not just how demanding they feel on one day. Choose a realistic activity level and reassess the estimate when your usual routine changes.
