What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn in a day. It includes your BMR plus all physical activity, digestion, and daily tasks.
How to Use This Calculator

- Light: BMR × 1.375 (light exercise 1-3 days/week)
- Moderate: BMR × 1.55 (moderate exercise 3-5 days/week)
- Active: BMR × 1.725 (hard exercise 6-7 days/week)
- Very Active: BMR × 1.9 (very hard exercise, physical job)
Using TDEE for Goals
