Kcalbit is built by Arjan de Vos, a freelance web developer, to make calorie planning simple and transparent.
Kcalbit is a lightweight toolkit to estimate your calorie needs (BMR & TDEE) and turn that into a practical daily target. It’s designed to be fast, transparent and privacy-friendly.
Who’s behind Kcalbit?
Hi, I’m Arjan de Vos, a freelance web developer. I built Kcalbit to make calorie planning simple without paywalls or spammy tricks. I’m not a doctor or dietitian—just someone who prefers clear math and plain language.
How the calculator works
- BMR: Mifflin–St Jeor (Male:
10×kg + 6.25×cm − 5×age + 5, Female:10×kg + 6.25×cm − 5×age − 161). - TDEE: BMR × an activity multiplier (1.2–1.9).
- Targets: We add/subtract a safe daily adjustment based on your goal pace and cap extremes.
Content standards
- Plain language: practical, short guides.
- Safety first: sensible ranges and visible assumptions.
- No hype: no miracle claims or “one weird trick”.
