TDEE Calculator
Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure —the total calories you burn each day including activity. The foundation for any effective diet or fitness plan.
How TDEE works
TDEE = BMR × activity factor. Sedentary 1.2, Light 1.375, Moderate 1.55, Very active 1.725, Extremely active 1.9. For accuracy: track weight + intake 2-3 weeks. Stable weight = TDEE equals average daily intake.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are the results?
Formulas used here are validated in population studies but cannot account for individual genetics, body composition, or medical conditions. Treat results as a starting point, not a medical diagnosis.
Should I consult a professional?
If you have specific health concerns, existing conditions, or are planning significant lifestyle changes, consult a qualified healthcare provider (doctor, dietitian, physiologist).
How often should I recalculate?
Recalculate when your weight changes more than 5%, activity level shifts significantly, or every 3-6 months for routine monitoring. Results are snapshots — your body changes daily.
