What is TDEE Calculator?
The TDEE Calculator helps you calculate the total calories your body requires to perform daily functions, including your physical activity level. This value is essential for determining how many calories you need to eat for weight maintenance, loss, or gain.
Calculate Your TDEE
What is TDEE Calculator?
The TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) Calculator is used to estimate the total number of calories your body needs daily to maintain its current weight. It accounts for your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level, giving a more accurate estimate than general calorie recommendations.
How to Use TDEE Calculator?
To use the TDEE Calculator, input your gender, age, weight, height, and activity level. Click the "Calculate TDEE" button to find out how many calories you need to consume daily to maintain your current weight. Adjust your intake based on your goals, such as weight loss or gain.
Formula of TDEE Calculator
The TDEE is calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, followed by multiplying by an activity factor to account for physical activity:
TDEE = BMR * Activity Factor
Where:
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is calculated as:
For men: BMR = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) - 5 * age (years) + 5
For women: BMR = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) - 5 * age (years) - 161
Activity Factor is based on your activity level.
Advantages of Using TDEE Calculator
- Helps determine how many calories you need to maintain your weight.
- Useful for planning diet and exercise routines to achieve weight goals.
- Provides personalized results based on individual characteristics like age, gender, and activity level.
Disadvantages of Using TDEE Calculator
- Results can be inaccurate if activity level is estimated incorrectly.
- Does not account for metabolic diseases or other health conditions that may impact calorie needs.
