Calculate Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
TDEE is the total number of calories you burn in a day, combining your basal metabolism with physical activity. Knowing your TDEE is essential for setting accurate calorie targets for weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain. Our calculator provides personalized recommendations based on your body metrics and activity level.
What Is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is your BMR multiplied by an activity factor. It represents all calories burned through basic body functions, exercise, and daily activities like walking and fidgeting. TDEE is the most important number for nutrition planning—eat less to lose weight, more to gain, or match it to maintain.
