What is a TDEE calculator?

A TDEE calculator estimates how many calories your body burns each day, including movement, exercise, and daily activity.

What does TDEE mean?

TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It is your estimated daily maintenance calories.

How is TDEE calculated?

This calculator first estimates your BMR using your age, gender, height, and weight. It then multiplies that by your activity level to estimate your daily calorie needs.

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is the calories your body needs at rest.
TDEE includes your full daily activity, so it is higher than BMR.

How do you use TDEE for weight loss or weight gain?

Eat around your TDEE to maintain weight
Eat below TDEE to lose weight
Eat above TDEE to gain weight

Important note

This calculator gives an estimate, not a medical diagnosis. Actual calorie needs vary based on body composition, routine, and goals.
