A plain number to start from.
I'm a yoga and meditation teacher, not a diet coach, and I'm not going to hand you rules you'll resent by Thursday. But people ask, so here's a free calculator. Take the numbers as a starting point, then pay attention to how your body actually feels moving through the week.
Fill in your numbers above to see your daily targets.
Get In TouchDo I have to eat a certain way to do yoga?
No. There's no diet you have to adopt and nothing you have to give up to be welcome on a mat. This calculator is here because a lot of my clients want a plain starting number, not a philosophy.
I lift and I'm busy. Will eating less wreck my sessions?
It can, if you go too low. Eat enough protein, keep your water up, and treat the numbers here as a starting point you adjust for how you feel and move — not a rule to suffer through.
What do I actually do with these numbers?
Use them for a couple of weeks and watch what changes in your energy, your sleep, and how your body moves. If something feels off, say something and we adjust. You don't have to suffer through a workout, and you don't have to suffer through a meal plan either.
