How TDEE is calculated
TDEE is your BMR (calories at rest) multiplied by an activity factor. This gives you total calories burned in a day.
Men: BMR = (10 × weight) + (6.25 × height) − (5 × age) + 5Women: BMR = (10 × weight) + (6.25 × height) − (5 × age) − 161Step 2 - Multiply by activity:
TDEE = BMR × activity factor
Activity factors: Sedentary (1.2), Light (1.375), Moderate (1.55), Very active (1.725), Super active (1.9).
FAQs
What is TDEE?
TDEE is Total Daily Energy Expenditure – all the calories you burn in a day, including exercise and daily activities.
How is TDEE different from BMR?
BMR is calories at complete rest. TDEE includes all movement and activities, so it's higher than BMR.
Which activity level should I choose?
Be honest. Most people are sedentary or lightly active. Only choose "very active" if you exercise hard most days.
How do I use TDEE for weight loss?
Eat 250-500 calories below your TDEE to lose 0.25-0.5 kg per week safely.
Is TDEE accurate?
It's a good estimate. Track your weight for 2-3 weeks and adjust calories if needed.
