Frequently Asked Questions
What is TDEE?
Total daily energy expenditure is the number of calories you burn in a day, including your basal metabolism, movement and digestion.
How is it calculated?
The tool finds your basal rate with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then multiplies by an activity factor to get your total daily energy.
How do I lose or gain weight?
Eat below your TDEE to lose and above it to gain. The table shows targets, and the weekly change assumes about 7700 calories per kilogram.
How is this different from a BMR calculator?
BMR is only the calories you burn at rest. TDEE adds the calories from activity, so it reflects real daily needs.
Are the targets safe?
They are general guidance. Very low intakes are best supervised, and anyone with a medical condition should consult a professional.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is stored.
