TDEE Calculator
Use this TDEE Calculator to find your Total Daily Energy Expenditure - the total number of calories you burn each day based on your age, weight, height, and activity level. Knowing your baseline TDEE gives you an accurate daily calorie target for weight loss, muscle gain, or maintenance.
What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories your body needs in a day to maintain its current weight. Your TDEE is calculated using three main factors:
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): The calories your body burns at rest to sustain basic functions like breathing, circulating blood, and cell production.
- Physical Activity: The calories burned through exercise, work, and everyday movements.
- Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): The energy your body uses to digest, absorb, and process the food you eat.
Once you know your daily maintenance calories, you can easily adjust your intake down to lose weight or up to build muscle.
