This adult female daily calories calculator gives an approximation of your basal metabolic rate - the number of calories per day your body burns while at rest.

If your goal is to lose weight by burning off excess body fat, aim to cut back 500 calories per day from your daily caloric needs, and maintain or increase your exercise activity.

Never go below 1200 calories per day without medical supervision.

Note: The calculations are based on averages. Athletes may require a higher caloric intake to maintain their current weight.
