What is the TDEE Calculator?

The TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) Calculator estimates how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account. It is calculated by first figuring out your Basal Metabolic Rate, then multiplying that value by an activity multiplier.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter your BMR (calculate it first if needed).

2

Select your activity level from the dropdown/input.

3

Click 'Calculate' to see your TDEE.

Example Calculation
