TDEE Calculator

Estimate BMR and total daily energy expenditure from a general activity level.

Unit system

Estimated result

Complete the personal details.

Mifflin-St Jeor estimates resting energy; TDEE applies a general activity factor and does not measure actual expenditure.

From BMR to daily expenditure

TDEE multiplies Mifflin-St Jeor BMR by a general activity factor to estimate maintenance energy.

Choosing activity

Choose a level representative of a usual week; overstating activity raises the estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Is personal data sent to a server?

No. Calculations run locally in your browser and these values are not stored by default.
