TDEE Calculator

Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure.

Formula & Methodology

TDEE = BMR × activity factor, where the factor ranges from ~1.2 (sedentary) to ~1.9 (very active).

Worked Example

A BMR of 1,600 with a moderate activity factor of 1.55 gives a TDEE of about 2,480 calories/day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure is the calories you burn in a day, combining resting metabolism with activity and exercise.

How do I pick an activity factor?

Be honest about exercise frequency. Overestimating activity leads to overestimating calorie needs.

Is this medical advice?

No. TDEE is an estimate. Consult a professional for clinical nutrition guidance.
