What Is TDEE?
A TDEE calculator estimates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the total number of calories your body burns in a day by combining your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) with the energy used during physical activity, digestion, and other daily functions. TDEE is the most comprehensive measure for setting calorie targets because it reflects your actual daily energy demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the calories your body burns at complete rest just to maintain basic functions. TDEE adds your activity calories on top of BMR to give the total daily burn.
Which activity level should I select?
Be honest about your average day. Sedentary means desk work with no exercise. Lightly active means 1-3 days of exercise per week. Moderate is 3-5 days. Very active is 6-7 days of intense exercise.
Should I eat at my TDEE to maintain weight?
Yes. Eating at your TDEE should maintain your current weight. Eating below it creates a deficit for weight loss; eating above it creates a surplus for muscle gain.
