  • Use the TDEE Calculator result as a starting point for a conversation with a healthcare professional, not as a substitute for clinical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain basic functions like breathing and circulation. TDEE is your BMR multiplied by an activity factor — it represents your real total daily calorie burn including movement and exercise.

Which activity level should I choose?

Sedentary = desk job with no deliberate exercise. Lightly Active = 1–3 days of light exercise per week. Moderately Active = 3–5 days per week. Very Active = hard exercise 6–7 days per week. Extra Active = physical job or twice-daily training. Most people overestimate their activity level — when in doubt, choose one level lower.

How accurate is the TDEE calculator?

The result is an estimate based on the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, which is considered the most accurate for most people. Individual metabolism varies due to genetics, hormones, and body composition. Treat your result as a starting point and adjust by ±200 calories based on real-world results over 2–4 weeks.

How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

A deficit of 500 calories per day below your TDEE produces approximately 0.5 kg (1 lb) of weight loss per week. A 1,000-calorie deficit is the general upper limit recommended without medical supervision. Never eat below your BMR for extended periods without professional guidance.

Is my health data stored or shared?

No. All calculations run in your browser. No data you enter is sent to any server, stored, or shared with any third party. Your inputs are gone when you close or refresh the page.

Does the TDEE Calculator work offline?

After the page loads for the first time, the TDEE Calculator works without an internet connection for all client-side processing. Tools that fetch live external data (such as DNS or network lookups) require an active connection.

How accurate are the TDEE Calculator calculations?

Results are population-based estimates and can differ from measured values by 10–20% for individuals with atypical body composition. See our <a href="/methodology/">Methodology page</a> for full formula sources and references. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before making medical or dietary decisions.

Which formula does the TDEE Calculator use?
