FREE TDEE CALCULATOR
Estimate how much energy you use in an average day.
Your TDEE is a practical estimate of maintenance calories based on resting energy needs and typical activity.
Your TDEE is an estimate of average daily energy use. Compare it with two to four weeks of consistent intake and average body weight before making a change.
What TDEE means
Total daily energy expenditure combines estimated resting energy use with the movement and training represented by your selected activity level.
Why activity level matters
Activity categories are broad. Choose the description that best matches a normal week, then use consistent real-world intake and average body weight to test the estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Is TDEE the same as BMR?
No. BMR estimates resting needs; TDEE includes an activity multiplier.
Can my TDEE change?
Yes. Body weight, activity, training and other factors can change energy expenditure over time.
