BMR & TDEE Calculator
What is BMR & TDEE?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic (basal) life-sustaining functions while at rest. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is an estimation of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account.

Formulas
Mifflin-St Jeor Equation:
Men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5
Women: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161
Men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5
Women: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161
- TDEE = BMR × Activity Multiplier (1.2 to 1.9)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR is the energy your body burns at rest, while TDEE includes BMR plus the energy used during daily activities and exercise.
