Calculate how many calories you burn per day including activity.
Moderate exercise 3–5 days/week
Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn in a day including your basal metabolic rate (BMR), physical activity, and the thermic effect of food. This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the most accurate widely-validated BMR formula — and multiplies it by your activity level to estimate your TDEE.
Knowing your TDEE is the foundation of any nutrition plan. Eat below it to lose weight, at it to maintain, or above it to gain.
