About CalorieCalculator.uk

We are dedicated to helping UK residents make informed decisions about their nutrition and health using evidence-based tools.

Our Mission

CalorieCalculator.uk was created to provide UK residents with a free, accurate, and easy-to-use calorie calculator that aligns with NHS guidelines. We believe everyone deserves access to quality health tools without paying subscription fees or navigating confusing interfaces.

Why We're Different

Unlike many calorie calculators designed for US audiences, our tool is specifically built for the UK market:

  • UK-friendly units: Enter your weight in stones and pounds, just like you would at the GP.
  • NHS-aligned recommendations: We use the NHS-recommended 600 kcal deficit for sustainable weight loss, not arbitrary percentages.
  • Evidence-based formulas: Our calculations use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, recommended by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
  • No sign-up required: Get your results instantly without creating an account or providing personal information.

Our Values

Privacy First

We don't store your personal health data. Your calculations happen in your browser and aren't sent to any server.

Accuracy Matters

We use scientifically-validated formulas and clearly explain how our calculations work.

Accessible to All

Our tool is completely free, works on all devices, and is designed to be accessible to users of all abilities.

Health-Focused

We promote sustainable, healthy approaches to weight management - never crash diets or extreme measures.

Important Disclaimer

While we strive to provide accurate information, CalorieCalculator.uk is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Our calculator provides estimates for educational purposes only.

If you have specific health conditions, are significantly overweight, or have concerns about your diet, please consult your GP or a registered dietitian before making changes to your eating habits.
