TDEE Calculator – FAQs

What is TDEE?

+

Total Daily Energy Expenditure is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including your resting metabolism plus all movement, exercise, and digestion. It is your calorie maintenance level.

How is TDEE calculated?

+

We first estimate your BMR with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then multiply it by an activity factor (1.2 for sedentary up to 1.9 for very active) to account for daily movement and exercise.

How do I use my TDEE?

+

Eat around your TDEE to maintain weight, 10–20% below it to lose fat, or 5–15% above it to gain muscle. It is the starting point for any calorie or macro plan.
