TDEE Calculator

Understanding Your TDEE and BMR

Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is an estimation of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account. It is calculated by first figuring out your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then multiplying that value by an activity multiplier.

The Mifflin-St Jeor Equation

Our calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation because it is currently recognized as the single most robust and accurate formula for estimating BMR. It considers your weight, height, age, and biological gender to establish your resting metabolic rate.

• Maintenance: The exact calories required to stay at your current weight.
• Bulking (+500): A caloric surplus designed to build muscle mass optimally.
• Cutting (-500): A caloric deficit strictly designed to burn body fat while preserving lean tissue.
