What is TDEE?
Your **Total Daily Energy Expenditure** is an estimation of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account. It is calculated by first figuring out your Basal Metabolic Rate, then multiplying that value by an activity multiplier.

How to calculate TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) Calculator
Step-by-step Guide & Informational Intent
- 1.Enter your current Age, Gender, and Weight in kg.
- 2.Input your Height accurately in centimeters.
- 3.Select your physical 'Activity Level' from the options provided.
- 4.View your TDEE and the suggested calorie targets for your specific goal.

How the Calculation Works
TDEE is calculated by multiplying your BMR (calories burned at rest) by an Activity Factor (PAL). This gives a realistic estimate of your daily energy needs based on your unique lifestyle.
Important Assumptions
- • BMR is calculated using current weight and age
- • Activity Multipliers: 1.2 (Sedentary) to 1.9 (Extreme Athlete)
- • Mifflin-St Jeor is the primary formula used
- • Macro ratios are based on standard balanced nutrition goals
Calorie Management Examples
Activity Factor Reference
| Activity Level | Multiplier | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sedentary | 1.2 | Little or no exercise |
| Light Active | 1.375 | Light exercise 1-3 days/week |
| Mod. Active | 1.55 | Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week |
| Very Active | 1.725 | Hard exercise 6-7 days/week |
| Extra Active | 1.9 | Physical job or 2x training |
Knowing my TDEE was a game changer. I realized I was under-eating even for weight loss. Now I eat right and feel energetic.
