Mifflin-St Jeor Formula
Men: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age) + 5
Women: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age) - 161
TDEE: BMR × Activity Factor
⚠️ Important Note
This calculator provides estimates for average individuals. Actual calorie needs vary based on metabolism, fitness level, muscle mass, health conditions, and medications. Results are approximate and should not replace professional nutritional advice.
How it works
BMR (Mifflin-St Jeor Formula): Men: BMR = (10 × weight kg) + (6.25 × height cm) - (5 × age) + 5 Women: BMR = (10 × weight kg) + (6.25 × height cm) - (5 × age) - 161 TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor Activity Multipliers: Sedentary: 1.2 | Light: 1.375 | Moderate: 1.55 | Very Active: 1.725 | Extremely Active: 1.9 Example: 30-year-old male, 70kg, 175cm, moderate activity BMR = (10×70) + (6.25×175) - (5×30) + 5 = 1,733 kcal TDEE = 1,733 × 1.55 = 2,686 kcal per day
The TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) calculator estimates how many calories your body burns each day. Enter your basic information and activity level to calculate your daily calorie needs. The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor formula to determine your basal metabolic rate, then adjusts it based on your activity level.
Why this matters
Knowing your TDEE is fundamental for managing weight, whether your goal is to lose, maintain, or gain weight. It helps you set appropriate daily calorie targets and track progress toward fitness goals. TDEE varies significantly between individuals based on age, sex, weight, height, and activity level.
