About This Tool

This TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) calculator helps you estimate the number of calories your body burns each day based on your age, gender, height, weight, and activity level. Using the scientifically validated Mifflin-St Jeor equation, it calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and adjusts it with an activity multiplier to determine your TDEE. Based on your goal (weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain), it provides personalized daily calorie recommendations to help you achieve your fitness objectives safely and effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is TDEE?

TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure, which is the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including basal metabolic rate (BMR) and activity calories.

What formula does this calculator use?

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is considered one of the most accurate BMR formulas for adults.

How accurate is this TDEE calculator?

While the Mifflin-St Jeor formula is scientifically validated, individual results may vary based on factors like muscle mass, genetics, and health conditions. Use the results as a starting point and adjust based on your progress.

What activity level should I choose?

Sedentary: little or no exercise. Lightly active: light exercise 1-3 days/week. Moderately active: moderate exercise 3-5 days/week. Very active: hard exercise 6-7 days/week. Extra active: very hard exercise & physical job.

How many calories should I eat for weight loss?

For sustainable weight loss, we recommend a 500-calorie deficit from your TDEE, which typically results in about 1 pound (0.45 kg) of weight loss per week.
