How does the tdee calculator work?
The calculator first estimates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. It then multiplies your BMR by an activity multiplier to estimate the calories your body uses each day.
Formula
BMR = 10 × weight + 6.25 × height − 5 × age + sex adjustment; TDEE = BMR × activity multiplierExamples

About this calculator
TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It estimates the number of calories your body uses each day based on your basal metabolism and physical activity.
This calculator first estimates your Basal Metabolic Rate using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. Your BMR is then multiplied by an activity factor to estimate your total daily calorie expenditure.
TDEE is an estimate rather than an exact measurement. Actual calorie needs can vary depending on body composition, activity, lifestyle and other individual factors.
Frequently asked questions
What does TDEE mean?
TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It is an estimate of the total calories your body uses in a typical day.
How is TDEE calculated?
TDEE is commonly estimated by calculating BMR and multiplying it by an activity factor.
What is BMR?
BMR, or Basal Metabolic Rate, is an estimate of the energy your body needs to perform basic functions while at rest.
Is TDEE the exact number of calories I need?
No. TDEE is an estimate. Actual daily energy needs can vary between individuals and can change with activity and other factors.
