Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.
Total daily energy expenditure stacks three layers: resting metabolism, activity and exercise, plus a small digestion cost. Because precise measurement is impractical, the classic approach multiplies BMR by standardized activity multipliers ranging from sedentary 1.2 to athlete-level 1.9.
The multipliers are blunt instruments — two 'moderately active' people can differ substantially. Use the output as a starting hypothesis: weigh consistently for two or three weeks, watch the trend, and nudge calories until reality matches intent.

TDEE Calculator: Total daily energy expenditure: your full-day calorie burn including activity. Formula: TDEE = BMR × activity multiplier (1. Example: A 28-year-old female at 68 kg, 172 cm, lightly active: BMR ≈ 1,478 → TDEE ≈ 2,032 kcal/day.

A 28-year-old female at 68 kg, 172 cm, lightly active: BMR ≈ 1,478 → TDEE ≈ 2,032 kcal/day. Eating near that holds weight steady by definition of maintenance.
