Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure including all activities
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including all activities. It's calculated by multiplying your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) by an activity factor that accounts for your physical activity level. TDEE is the most accurate way to determine your daily calorie needs for weight management.
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor
The calories your body burns at complete rest for basic life functions.
The calories burned digesting, absorbing, and processing food.
The calories burned through exercise and daily activities.
Your TDEE is the key number for effective weight management:
Remember that TDEE can change as your weight, activity level, or body composition changes. Regularly recalculating your TDEE helps maintain accurate calorie targets.
Important Note: TDEE calculations provide estimates based on standard formulas and activity level multipliers. Individual energy expenditure can vary based on genetics, metabolism, body composition, and other factors.
