TDEE Calculator
Estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure to understand how many calories you burn per day based on your activity level.
About This Calculator
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is widely considered the most accurate formula for estimating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). The equation calculates BMR as: (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) - (5 x age in years) + 5 for males, or - 161 for females. Your BMR is then multiplied by an activity factor to determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) — the estimated number of calories you burn each day. The calorie targets shown above use standard deficits and surpluses to help guide weight loss or gain goals. A 500-calorie daily deficit roughly corresponds to losing about one pound per week.
