How to Use the NASM Calorie Calculator?

1. Enter Your Personal Information

Start by inputting your age, gender, weight (in pounds), and height (in inches). These factors are crucial for calculating your BMR accurately.

2. Select Your Activity Level

Choose the option that best describes your typical weekly activity. This ranges from sedentary (little to no exercise) to extra active (very hard exercise and a physical job or twice-daily training).

3. Choose Your Goal

Select whether you want to maintain your current weight, lose weight, or gain weight. This will adjust your recommended calorie intake accordingly.

4. Click “Calculate”

After filling in all the required fields, click the calculate button to generate your results.

The calculator will display your BMR, TDEE, recommended daily calorie intake, and a breakdown of macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrates).

The NASM Calorie Calculator is a powerful tool for understanding your nutritional needs, but it’s most effective when used as part of a comprehensive approach to health and fitness that includes regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and lifestyle factors like adequate sleep and stress management.
