What is TDEE?
TDEE = BMR × Activity Multiplier. Eating below TDEE leads to weight loss, above leads to weight gain.
How TDEE is Calculated
TDEE combines your BMR with an activity multiplier. First, we calculate BMR using Mifflin-St Jeor, then multiply by your activity level.
"A deficit of 500 cal/day = ~0.5 kg weight loss per week."
The Formula
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor
Sedentary: ×1.2 | Light: ×1.375 | Moderate: ×1.55
Very Active: ×1.725 | Extreme: ×1.9

About the TDEE Calculator
Estimates Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) — total calories burned per day including activity level — from BMR and lifestyle multiplier.
Use to set calorie targets for fat loss, muscle gain, or maintenance based on your actual activity level.
TDEE = BMR × activity factor (1.2 sedentary to 1.9 very active)
With a BMR of 1,500 kcal and moderate activity (×1.55), TDEE is about 2,325 kcal/day.
