How to use TDEE Calculator
Total Daily Energy Expenditure using Mifflin-St Jeor BMR + activity multiplier, with cut/maintain/bulk calorie targets.
Choose measurements that describe your actual session or situation, confirm the units, then calculate. Read the result alongside its assumptions and use the tool again when your inputs change.

Choose the option that matches your context; available options include Sedentary (little/no exercise), Light (1-3×/wk), Moderate (3-5×/wk).
How to interpret the output
Treat calculated nutrition values as starting estimates. Appetite, training demands, dietary restrictions and individual needs vary.
Repeat measurements using similar conditions when monitoring trends. Numerical predictions can vary with input accuracy, measurement method and individual circumstances.
Limitations and responsible use
TDEE formulas have ±10% error. Use as a starting point and adjust based on real-world weight trends over 2 weeks.

What does the TDEE Calculator estimate?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure using Mifflin-St Jeor BMR + activity multiplier, with cut/maintain/bulk calorie targets.
Which information do I need for this nutrition tool?
Provide Weight (kg), Height (cm), Age, Sex, Activity level. Use your own relevant measurements and the units indicated in each field.
How should I interpret the result?
Treat calculated nutrition values as starting estimates. Appetite, training demands, dietary restrictions and individual needs vary. Compare results with your goals and other relevant observations rather than using a single output to make a major decision.
