Looking for a Jeff Nippard calorie calculator?
If you want to know how many calories to eat each day, start with an estimate of your maintenance calories, also called total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). Eating around that amount aims to maintain weight; a calorie deficit aims for weight loss, while a surplus aims for weight gain. Any calculator result is a starting estimate, so compare it with your intake and weight trend over the following weeks.
Jeff Nippard is one of MacroFactor's five co-owners. MacroFactor Nutrition is the paid app associated with him for food logging, expenditure estimates, and coached calorie targets. If you were looking specifically for his TDEE connection, read our Jeff Nippard TDEE guide. This is an independent guide; MacroCodex is not affiliated with or endorsed by Jeff Nippard or MacroFactor.
Calculate a daily calorie target for free
- Open MacroCodex and enter your details to get an initial maintenance-calorie estimate.
- Choose whether you want to maintain, lose, or gain weight. The app turns your maintenance estimate into a daily calorie target for that goal.
- Record your calorie intake and body weight consistently. MacroCodex updates its maintenance estimate and targets as it learns from your trend.
MacroCodex is free and has no ads or subscription. It asks you to enter daily calorie totals; if you want a food diary, you can use a separate logger such as CalorieCodex. Short-term weight changes can reflect water and food in your digestive system, so use a trend across weeks instead of changing your target after one weigh-in.
