Guide: TDEE Calculator
What it does
Combines a BMR estimate with an activity multiplier to approximate total daily calorie needs.
How to use it
Enter your stats, pick an activity level that best matches your typical week, then calculate.
Formula
TDEE ≈ BMR × activity factor (sedentary to very active).
Example
If BMR ≈ 1,600 kcal and you choose “moderate” activity (~1.55), TDEE ≈ 2,480 kcal/day.
FAQs
How do I pick an activity level?
Choose the description closest to your average week, not your single hardest day.
Why is my TDEE different from my fitness tracker?
Different models and inputs. Use TDEE as a starting point and adjust based on real weight changes over weeks.
Should I eat exactly my TDEE to maintain weight?
Often close, but individual tracking matters. Treat TDEE as an educated estimate.
