How It Works
TDEE Calculation
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is calculated by multiplying your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) by an activity factor. Formula: TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Equation (Mifflin-St Jeor)
Men: BMR = (10 × weight kg) + (6.25 × height cm) - (5 × age) + 5
Women: BMR = (10 × weight kg) + (6.25 × height cm) - (5 × age) - 161
Activity Level Multipliers
| Activity Level | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Sedentary (little or no exercise) | 1.2 |
| Light (exercise 1-3 times/week) | 1.375 |
| Moderate (exercise 4-5 times/week) | 1.55 |
| Active (daily exercise or intense exercise 3-4 times/week) | 1.725 |
| Very Active (intense exercise 6-7 times/week) | 1.9 |
| Extra Active (very intense physical job or exercise) | 2.0 |
