TDEE Calculator

About This Tool

So, you’re trying to figure out how many calories you actually burn in a day? Yeah, me too. That’s where a TDEE calculator comes in. TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure—fancy term for the total number of calories your body uses in 24 hours, including everything from breathing to hitting the gym. This isn’t some magic number that guarantees weight loss or muscle gain. But it’s a solid starting point. Think of it like checking your car’s fuel gauge before a road trip. You don’t need to obsess over every mile, but knowing where you stand helps you plan better. I built this calculator because I got tired of guessing. Most apps overcomplicate things or assume you’re training for a marathon. This one? It’s simple. Plug in your stats, pick your activity level, and get a realistic estimate. No fluff, no nonsense.

Key Features

• Uses proven formulas (like Mifflin-St Jeor) to estimate your basal metabolic rate—your body’s baseline calorie burn at rest.
• Adjusts for your activity level, whether you’re glued to a desk or lifting weights five times a week.
• Gives you a range, not just one number. Because let’s be honest, life isn’t that predictable.
• No account required. No spam. Just enter your info and get your result.
• Works on your phone, tablet, or that ancient laptop you refuse to upgrade.
• Explains what the number means—so you’re not left wondering, “Now what?”

FAQ

Is this accurate?
It’s as accurate as any online calculator can be. It uses your age, weight, height, gender, and activity level—standard stuff. But remember, it’s an estimate. Your actual TDEE might be a little higher or lower. Track your weight for a few weeks and adjust if needed.

Can I use this to lose or gain weight?
Sure. If you want to lose weight, eat slightly below your TDEE. To gain, eat above it. But don’t go extreme. A 300–500 calorie deficit or surplus is plenty. Your body isn’t a math problem—it’s more like a moody roommate. Respect it.
