About This TDEE Calculator

This TDEE calculator estimates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the calories you burn in a day from your metabolism plus all your activity. It's the figure to aim around if you want to maintain weight, with a deficit below it to lose and a surplus to gain.

This is general information only, not medical advice. TDEE is an estimate; real energy use varies day to day. Track your weight over a few weeks and adjust your intake to match your goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TDEE?+
Total Daily Energy Expenditure is the total calories you burn in a day — your resting metabolism plus the energy used in daily activity and exercise.
What's the difference between BMR and TDEE?+
BMR is the calories you'd burn at complete rest. TDEE multiplies BMR by an activity factor to include movement and exercise.
How do I use my TDEE?+
Eat around your TDEE to maintain weight, below it to lose weight, or above it to gain. Adjust based on real-world results.
