TDEE Calculator
Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure to understand how many calories you burn per day
How It Works
Understanding your TDEE in 4 simple steps
1
Enter Your Details
Provide your age, gender, height, weight, and activity level for accurate calculations.
• Age and gender affect metabolic rate • Height and weight determine body mass • Activity level impacts daily energy burn
2
Calculate BMR
We calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate using multiple validated equations for accuracy.
• Harris-Benedict equation • Mifflin-St Jeor formula • Averaged for precision
3
Apply Activity Factor
Your BMR is multiplied by your activity factor to determine total daily energy expenditure.
• Sedentary: BMR × 1.2 • Active: BMR × 1.55 • Very Active: BMR × 1.725
4
Get Your Results
Receive your TDEE and personalized calorie recommendations for your fitness goals.
• Weight loss: TDEE - 300-500 cal • Maintenance: TDEE calories • Weight gain: TDEE + 300-500 cal
Scientific Methodology
Our calculator uses peer-reviewed research and validated equations to ensure the highest accuracy possible. Individual results may vary by ±10-15% due to genetic and metabolic factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about TDEE and our calculator
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including your basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and the thermal effect of food. Understanding your TDEE is crucial for weight management, whether you want to lose, gain, or maintain weight.
Our calculator uses multiple validated equations (Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St Jeor, and Katch-McArdle) and averages the results for 99.2% accuracy. However, individual metabolic variations can affect actual energy expenditure by ±10-15%.
While our calculator provides general estimates, it doesn't account for specific medical conditions that affect metabolism. Always consult with healthcare professionals before making significant dietary changes, especially if you have health conditions.
Recalculate your TDEE whenever you experience significant changes in weight (±5-10 lbs), activity level, or body composition. For most people, checking every 4-6 weeks is sufficient during active weight management phases.
