What This Estimate Means

At 5 ft 4 in (163 cm), 159 lb (72 kg), and a moderately active routine, this example estimates maintenance at 2,019 calories per day. The estimate reflects the profile's measurements and selected activity level; actual needs vary between individuals.

Practical Tip

If you have a regular walking or exercise routine, use the activity level that matches your normal week. When seasonal activities, travel, or schedule changes affect how much you move, reassess your estimate instead of assuming your calorie needs remain unchanged.
