Use this TDEE calculator to estimate how many calories you burn per day based on your age, gender, height, weight and activity level.
What Is TDEE?
TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It represents the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including basic functions and physical activity.
How Is TDEE Calculated?
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then multiplies it by your activity level.
Why Knowing Your TDEE Matters
Understanding your TDEE can help you:
- Maintain your current weight
- Lose fat by creating a calorie deficit
- Gain muscle by increasing calorie intake
