TDEE Calculator
Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. Know your maintenance, cutting, and bulking calories.
What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including your basal metabolic rate (BMR), physical activity, and the thermic effect of food. Knowing your TDEE helps you set caloric targets for weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain.
How is BMR calculated?
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is considered the most accurate for estimating BMR. It uses your weight, height, age, and gender to estimate the calories your body burns at complete rest.
