TDEE Calculator

How Does the TDEE Calculator Work?

Our TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) Calculator estimates the total number of calories you burn each day based on your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level. By entering your details, you'll get a personalized calorie target to help you manage weight, fuel workouts, or optimize your nutrition.

The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then multiplies by your activity factor to determine TDEE. Adjust your calorie intake as your weight or activity level changes for best results.

  • Gender: Male or female.
  • Weight: Your body weight (kg or lbs).
  • Height: Your height (cm or inches).
  • Activity Level: How active you are (sedentary to extra active).
  • Units: Metric (kg, cm) or Imperial (lbs, inches).
