How the TDEE Calculator Works
This tool calculates the total calories your body burns daily by multiplying your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) by your physical activity factor. This number is the foundation for any diet plan, whether for weight loss or gain.
- 1
Calculate BMR
The tool calculates your basal metabolic rate from your weight, height, and age
- 2
Determine Activity
Select your daily and weekly physical activity level
- 3
Calculate TDEE
BMR is multiplied by the activity factor to get total daily burn
Use Cases
Weight Loss Diet Planning
Determine the calorie deficit needed for weight loss
Muscle Building Programs
Know the calorie surplus needed for muscle building
Weight Maintenance
Know the calories needed to maintain your current weight
Tips
- 1
Recalculate TDEE every 4-6 weeks as your weight changes
- 2
Be honest when assessing your activity level
- 3
Most people overestimate their physical activity
- 4
Start with a lower activity level and adjust based on results
Common Mistakes
Overestimating physical activity level
Not updating calculations after weight loss or gain
Ignoring non-exercise daily activity (walking, housework)
Relying on one number without adjusting based on actual results
