Maintenance-energy estimate

TDEE Calculator

Estimate total daily energy expenditure from formula-based BMR and a broad activity factor.

Enter formula inputs

Enter measurements and select Calculate.

Energy method

TDEE = Mifflin-St Jeor BMR × selected activity factor. Available factors are 1.2, 1.375, 1.55, 1.725, and 1.9.

Maintenance-energy boundary

The output estimates expenditure under broad assumptions. Actual requirements vary. It does not prescribe intake, a calorie deficit, weight loss, treatment, or a nutrition plan.

Worked example

A formula BMR of 1,780 kcal/day with a 1.55 activity factor produces an estimated TDEE of 2,759 kcal/day.

Educational adult-use boundary

This calculator is an informational mathematical estimator for adults. It does not diagnose health, recommend treatment, prescribe food intake, define an ideal body, or provide pediatric or pregnancy guidance.
