The Caloric Needs Calculator helps determine your approximate caloric needs so it can assign a sample 7-Day meal plan for you to follow for 4 weeks. However, if you already know the number of calories required for your goal, you can select, “I Know My Caloric Needs” and manually enter that number. Whichever method you choose, the system will assign a suggested 7-Day meal plan that you can follow for the entire 4-week phase. Also, depending on your goal and preferable pace, the calculator will suggest a date for achieving your goal. If you would like to adjust the result, you can click on the desired date in the calendar.

The system offers multiple plans for different caloric needs, including 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400 and 2600 calorie meal plans. In the event you need less than 1400 calories or more than 2600, the meal plans explain how to make the necessary adjustments. The calculator is configured to round to the nearest available plan depending on your goal. In other words, if you are looking to gain weight it will round the caloric needs up, and if you are looking to maintain or lose weight it will round down.

Please Note: Prior to each 4-week phase of the program, you will receive a notification to reuse the calorie calculator so you can get the next phase of the meal plan.
