Calculate TDEE
Enter your details to estimate daily calorie expenditure.
Formula
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate basal metabolic rate (BMR), then adjusts for activity level.
What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) represents the total number of calories your body burns in a full day, including movement, exercise, and normal bodily functions.
Why TDEE matters
Understanding your TDEE helps guide fat loss, maintenance, or muscle gain goals by estimating calorie needs more accurately.
Training insight
Most people underestimate how important consistency is. Quietly, long-term calorie balance matters more than short bursts of extreme dieting.
