About MenuVita
MenuVita does one thing: it turns the science of energy balance into a number you can act on — how many calories to eat to lose weight at a pace you choose — and then into meal plans built around that number.
It's built and run by an independent developer who has spent years building meal-planning software used by nutrition professionals. No content farm, no miracle diets, no "detox". Just the arithmetic of energy balance, applied carefully.
The method
- The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the formula with the strongest validation for estimating resting energy expenditure in adults, adjusted by your activity level.
- Weight-loss targets apply a defined daily deficit (250–825 kcal depending on the pace you pick) and never go below safe minimums (1,200 kcal for women, 1,500 kcal for men).
- Estimates are general information, not medical advice. If you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before changing your diet.
