What is the Slim Calculator?
The Slim Calculator combines key fitness formulas to determine how many calories you should eat, how fast you can lose weight, and what your ideal body weight might be. It's an all-in-one slimming assistant for men and women aiming to burn fat safely and sustainably.
How to Use the Slim Calculator
- Enter your age, gender, height, current weight, and goal weight.
- Select your activity level (e.g., sedentary, active, very active).
- Choose your weight loss pace – slow, moderate, or aggressive.
The calculator will show:

- Timeframe to reach your goal weight
- Estimated fat loss vs muscle retention
Formula Used in Slim Calculator
The Slim Calculator typically uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation for Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):
For men: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age (y) + 5 For women: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age (y) − 161
This is multiplied by an activity factor (1.2–1.9) to get Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). To slim down, you subtract a calorie deficit:
Daily Calories to Slim = TDEE − Calorie Deficit (e.g., 500–1000 kcal/day)
