How this TDEE calculator works

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) estimates how many calories your body uses in a full day. It starts with your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate โ€” calories burned at complete rest) and multiplies by an activity factor.

The Mifflin-St Jeor equation

  • Men: BMR = (10 ร— weight kg) + (6.25 ร— height cm) โˆ’ (5 ร— age) + 5
  • Women: BMR = (10 ร— weight kg) + (6.25 ร— height cm) โˆ’ (5 ร— age) โˆ’ 161

TDEE = BMR ร— activity multiplier. This formula is widely regarded as one of the most accurate for healthy adults.

Activity multipliers

  • 1.2 โ€” Sedentary ยท 1.375 โ€” Light ยท 1.55 โ€” Moderate
  • 1.725 โ€” Very active ยท 1.9 โ€” Extra active

Calorie targets & macros

Targets use moderate deficits/surpluses (~0.25โ€“0.5 kg/week). Default macros: ~30% protein / 40% carbs / 30% fat. Adjust based on preference and training.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is calories at complete rest. TDEE adds daily movement, exercise and digestion.

How accurate is this number?

It is a solid estimate. Track weight for 2โ€“3 weeks and adjust by 100โ€“200 kcal if needed.
