calorie goal
Daily intake limit
A calorie goal is a target number of calories someone aims to consume daily, typically set for weight loss, maintenance, or gain.
Fitness apps and diet plans center on tracking intake against this benchmark: I'm trying to stay under my calorie goal today.
The term belongs to diet culture and nutrition planning.
