Use the Calories Burned Each Day Calculator, inputting your gender, age, height, weight, and whether you are sedentary, lightly active, moderately active, or very active. For weight loss, you would want to aim to burn 300 more calories per day than the figure you get so you achieve a negative energy balance. Your body then has to burn stored fat.

How much should you eat if you want to lose weight? Use a calorie target weight loss calculator to find your calorie target based on your weight loss goals. You'll input your gender, age, height, current weight, goal weight, goal date, and your activity level.

Many fitness bands and pedometers will give you an estimate of your calories burned by exercise as well as your total calories burned per day. If you wear a Fitbit, you will see its reading of your total calorie burn, which includes your basic metabolic rate as well as exercise calories. This enables you to balance the calories you eat against the calories burned.

Diet-friendly fitness trackers such as Fitbit, Jawbone, and Garmin include or link to a food log app where you can track what you eat to balance those calories with what you burned. One common app that links to many fitness trackers if MyFitnessPal.com. The best of these apps allow you to save common foods and meals and analyze recipes for the calories and nutrition per serving. Many allow you to scan barcodes on the food you eat and include items from fast food and chain restaurants.

However, accuracy is always an issue with any calorie figure from fitness trackers. Calories shown on treadmills and other exercise machines may be overestimated or underestimated as well. Be sure to input your correct weight as they often base the burn on that figure.
