Enter your details to calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions like breathing, circulation, cell production, and nutrient processing while at rest.
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn per day when your activity level is factored in. It's calculated by multiplying your BMR by your activity factor.
| Activity Level | Description | Activity Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Sedentary | Little or no exercise, desk job | BMR × 1.2 |
| Lightly Active | Light exercise 1-3 days/week | BMR × 1.375 |
| Moderately Active | Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week | BMR × 1.55 |
| Very Active | Hard exercise 6-7 days/week | BMR × 1.725 |
| Extra Active | Very hard exercise & physical job | BMR × 1.9 |
These calculations provide estimates based on population averages. Individual calorie needs can vary based on factors like metabolism, muscle mass, genetics, and health conditions. Always consult with healthcare professionals or registered dietitians for personalized nutrition advice.
