Calorie Intake Counter

MANGOE AI calculates how many calories & nutrients your body needs every day based on your age, height weight, body fat percentage, activity level and fitness goals.

Let MANGOE AI know your goals, whether your want to achieve a calorie deficit or are in a bulking season.

As far as we are aware, MANGOE AI is the only calculator tool that accounts for body fat percentage, activity levels & is able to be manually adjusted over time.


In the odd occasion that the AI is slightly off on detecting weight or any nutrient data, MANGOE lets you manually edit to ensure data accuracy.

Disclaimer:
The calorie, micro & macro targets provided by the MANGOE AI are ESTIMATES to guide you. While they are quite accurate estimates based on data science, confirm with a registered health practitioner before use.

Counting calories can make you realise how far you actually are away from eating the ideal amounts of food to achieve your fitness goals. Many people think they are eating "okay" and wonder why they are not seeing results. Calorie counting makes it measurable and keeps you accountable, whether you are trying to gain or lose weight.

Kilojoules (kJ) and calories (Cal) are both units that measure energy from food and drinks, similar to how kilometres and miles both measure distance. In some countries, food energy is measured in kilojoules, while other countries still use calories. The conversion is straightforward: 1 calorie equals 4.184 kilojoules, or 1 kilojoule equals 0.24 calories.

The energy content in food depends on its macronutrient composition. Fats and alcohol are the most energy-dense, providing the highest kilojoules per gram. Proteins and carbohydrates provide moderate amounts, while dietary fibre is low in kilojoules and water provides none. This explains why fatty foods, sugary items, and alcoholic beverages are particularly high in energy, while fruits, vegetables, and legumes are lower in kilojoules.

Individual energy requirements vary significantly based on factors including physical activity level, body composition, age, sex, and health status. Men typically need more energy than women due to greater muscle mass, which burns more kilojoules. You can track your energy intake by checking nutrition labels on packaged foods or menu boards when dining out. Understanding these measurements helps make informed dietary choices regardless of which unit system is used.

Most online calorie calculators and apps use basic parameters to estimate within a 5-10% range, but most can be very inaccurate because they do not account for body fat percentage or activity level and can be drastically inaccurate, unlike MANGOE AI which accounts for both.

MANGOE AI calculates your basal metabolic rate or BMR to establish how many calories you need to maintain your current weight based on your age, height, weight, gender & body fat percentage. Then it uses your total daily energy expenditure or TDEE and your fitness goals to give you the most accurate recommenation.
