How to Calculate
TDEE = BMR × Activity Multiplier
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. For men: BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age + 5. For women: BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age - 161. TDEE is then calculated by multiplying BMR by an activity factor (1.2 for sedentary, 1.375 for light, 1.55 for moderate, 1.725 for active, 1.9 for very active).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TDEE?
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn per day, including your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) plus physical activity and the thermic effect of food.
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
To lose weight safely, eat 500 calories less than your TDEE to lose about 1 pound per week. Never eat below 1,200 calories/day for women or 1,500 for men without medical supervision.
