TDEE Calculator for Weight Loss

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is an estimate of how many calories you use each day after accounting for resting metabolism and activity.

How TDEE is estimated

A common approach starts with an estimated BMR and applies an activity factor. The result is a useful starting estimate, not a measurement of your exact energy expenditure.

Using TDEE for calorie planning

People often compare estimated TDEE with their average calorie intake when planning changes in body weight. A moderate adjustment may be easier to sustain than an extreme one, and actual results can differ from calculations.

Track trends, not one number

Body weight naturally fluctuates. Looking at longer-term trends and adjusting based on real-world results is more informative than treating a calculator result as exact.
