TDEE Calculator

Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is an estimate of how many calories you burn each day, including both rest and activity. It’s one of the most useful numbers for setting realistic goals around weight loss, gain, or maintenance.*

*TDEE is based on estimated activity levels and may not reflect your exact calorie needs. It doesn’t account for differences in muscle mass, hormones, medical conditions, or other personal health factors.

The TDEE calculator does not determine eligibility for weight loss treatments. A healthcare provider must evaluate your full health profile to decide if treatment is appropriate.

What Is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the estimated number of calories you burn in a day. It includes:

  • Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Calories burned at rest to keep your body functioning (influenced by age, sex, height, and weight).
  • Activity Level: Calories burned from intentional exercise (Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) and daily movements (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis).
  • Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): Energy used to digest and process food—protein burns more calories to digest than fat or carbs.

How It’s Calculated

TDEE = BMR × Activity Level

Why It Matters for Weight Goals

Knowing your TDEE helps you determine how many calories to eat to maintain, lose, or gain weight. To lose weight, you’d aim for a calorie deficit; to gain, a surplus.  While calorie tracking can guide weight goals, sustainable results require more than math—exercise, nutrient-rich foods, hydration, and quality sleep all play key roles
