Learn How Many Calories You Burn Every Day
Use the TDEE calculator to learn your Total Daily Energy Expenditure, a measure of how many calories you burn per day. This calorie calculator will also display your BMR, Macros & other useful statistics!
TDEE Calculator • Total Daily Energy Expenditure for Weight Loss
TDEE is the most important bit of information available to us when trying to gain muscle or burn fat and lose weight, because it represents the total number of calories we burn.
In order to burn fat, we must eat less calories that this our TDEE which will force your body to use your stored body fat as fuel.
This is why when counting macros, we always base our calorie intake on our TDEE calculator numbers, and not BMR.
How TDEE Is Calculated
Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is an estimation of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account. It is calculated by first figuring out your Basal Metabolic Rate, then multiplying that value by an activity multiplier.
Since your BMR represents how many calories your body burns when at rest, it is necessary to adjust the numbers upwards to account for the calories you burn during the day. This is true even for those with a sedentary lifestyle. Our TDEE calculator uses the best formulas and displays your score in a way that’s easy to read and meaningful.
What Is The TDEE Formula?
If you want to lose weight you absolutely have to know your calories. To base your weight loss calories off of some arbitrary number is pointless. Instead, start with a number that makes sense; TDEE for example.
Your TDEE is your Total Daily Energy Expenditure and it represents an estimated number of calories your body burns in a given day.
1) If you aim to lose weight, then you need to ensure that you are eating less energy, than you are burning over a sustained period of time.
2) If on the other hand, you are trying to gain weight, then you need to eat more energy than you burn over time.
3) Finally, if you want to maintain your current weight, then the amount of energy you consume, should match the amount of energy burned over time.
