TDEE Calculator: Total Daily Energy Expenditure

1 min read By OhMyApps

Your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn each day. Our calculator shows your TDEE across all five activity levels so you can find the right one.

How to Use

  1. Enter your stats — age, gender, weight, and height
  2. View TDEE for all activity levels from sedentary to extra active
  3. Identify your level based on your typical weekly activity
  4. Use the number for calorie planning and macro calculations

Common Use Cases

  • Nutrition planning: Set accurate calorie targets
  • Bulking or cutting: Know your maintenance calories to adjust from
  • Activity comparison: See how activity level changes calorie needs
  • Health tracking: Monitor energy expenditure over time

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between BMR and TDEE? BMR is calories burned at rest. TDEE adds your activity level on top, giving total daily calories burned.

How do I choose my activity level? Sedentary = desk job, no exercise. Light = 1-3 days exercise. Moderate = 3-5 days. Very active = 6-7 days. Extra active = athlete or physical job.
