TDEE is the full number of calories you burn in a day — resting metabolism plus movement and exercise. It is your maintenance intake.

How it works

  1. Provide your basic physical metrics (age, height, weight).
  2. Select an activity level that accurately represents your daily life.
  3. Review your TDEE, indicating your daily calorie maintenance baseline.

Frequently asked questions

Which activity level should I pick?

Most people overestimate. If you have a desk job and train 3–4 times a week, "moderate" is usually right.

How accurate is TDEE?

Within ~10% for most people. Track weight over 2–3 weeks and adjust the number based on real results.

Does TDEE change?

Yes — it falls as you lose weight and rises with muscle gain or more activity. Recalculate after every ~5 kg change.
