TDEE Calculator
Use this TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) calculator to determine your daily calorie needs. Based on your age, gender, height, weight, and activity level, the calculator will provide detailed energy expenditure analysis, including Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and calorie recommendations for different goals.
About TDEE
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn each day, composed of several components:
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Energy needed for basic life functions like breathing and circulation.
- Exercise Activity: Energy burned during planned exercise sessions.
- Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT): Energy burned during daily activities like walking and standing.
- Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): Energy used to digest and process food, about 10% of total expenditure.
About the Formulas:
- Mifflin-St Jeor Formula: The most widely used BMR formula, suitable for most people.
- Katch-McArdle Formula: Considers body fat percentage, may be more accurate for fitness enthusiasts.
Goal Recommendations:
- Weight Loss: Consume 20% fewer calories than your TDEE
- Maintenance: Consume the same amount of calories as your TDEE
- Weight Gain: Consume 20% more calories than your TDEE
