TDEE Calculator

Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure and personalised macros for your fitness goal — cut, maintain, or bulk.

Quick Answer & Summary

A TDEE Calculator is an evidence-based metabolic health utility that calculates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the clinically validated Mifflin-St Jeor and Katch-McArdle equations. It factors in biological sex, age, height, body weight, and physical activity multipliers (ranging from sedentary to athlete) to determine the exact number of daily calories required to maintain current body weight. Fitness enthusiasts, dietitians, bodybuilders, and healthcare professionals use this calculator to establish personalized daily caloric targets, calculate healthy 500-calorie deficits for fat loss, configure calorie surpluses for muscle hypertrophy, and compute macronutrient distributions (protein, carbohydrate, and fat grams). Running completely client-side in your browser, your personal health metrics, body weight measurements, fitness goals, and caloric targets are calculated in local device memory without remote server transmission or health data tracking.

Mifflin-St Jeor BMR Formula
BMR (Men) = 10W + 6.25H - 5A + 5 | BMR (Women) = 10W + 6.25H - 5A - 161 (TDEE = BMR * Activity_Factor)

Where W = Weight in kg, H = Height in cm, A = Age in years.

How to Use TDEE Calculator

1

Enter your stats

Input your weight, height, age, gender, and activity level. Supports both metric and imperial.

2

Calculate

Get your BMR (calories at rest) and TDEE (calories needed to maintain weight).

3

Pick your goal

View calorie and macro targets for cutting, maintaining, or bulking.

Pro Tips
TDEE is more accurate than BMR for planning daily intake
Protein goal is set at 2g per kg of bodyweight for muscle preservation
Results are estimates — track progress and adjust every 2–4 weeks
