Calorie Calculator (TDEE)

This calculator estimates the calories you burn per day (your TDEE) using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then shows targets to maintain, lose, or gain weight.

RESULT

2,556 kcal

Calories to maintain / day

2,056

Lose 1 lb/wk

1,649

BMR (at rest)

3,056

Gain 1 lb/wk

Formula

BMR = 10×kg + 6.25×cm − 5×age + s (s: +5 men, −161 women) · TDEE = BMR × activity

Example: A moderately active 30-year-old man, 175 cm and 70 kg, burns about 2,556 kcal a day.

Frequently asked questions

What is TDEE?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including exercise. Eat that amount to maintain weight, less to lose, more to gain.

How many calories to lose weight?

A deficit of about 500 calories a day leads to roughly 1 pound of weight loss per week. The calculator shows this target automatically.
