Estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), the approximate amount of energy your body uses in a day based on your BMR and activity level.
These estimates show how daily energy expenditure changes with different activity assumptions.
First, the calculator estimates BMR using the Mifflin–St Jeor equation.
The activity factors used are:
Example:
Vedicaly's TDEE Calculator helps estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which is the approximate number of calories your body uses in a day after taking your activity level into account.
Enter the required information such as your age, sex, height and weight, then select your activity level. The calculator will estimate your total daily energy expenditure based on the information provided.
Total Daily Energy Expenditure is an estimate of the total energy your body uses throughout the day. It includes your basal metabolic needs as well as energy used for physical activity and other daily processes.
BMR estimates the energy your body requires while at rest, whereas TDEE estimates your overall daily energy expenditure after accounting for activity level. For most people, TDEE is therefore higher than BMR.
Yes. A person with a higher activity level generally has a higher estimated TDEE because more energy is used through movement and exercise.
No. TDEE calculators provide estimates based on formulas and the information entered. Actual energy expenditure can vary because of body composition, activity patterns and other individual factors.
