Energy Expenditure Calculator – Accurate TDEE & Calorie Estimator

Understanding Your Results

This tool provides a snapshot of your metabolic health. Here is how to interpret the data:

  • BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): This is the number of calories your body burns at rest just to keep your organs functioning. Think of it as your “coma calories.”

  • TDEE (Maintenance): This is the “Goldilocks” zone. Eating this amount will keep your weight stable based on your current activity level.

  • Weight Loss/Gain: To lose roughly 1 lb of fat per week, a deficit of 500 calories per day is the standard clinical recommendation. Conversely, a 500-calorie surplus supports muscle growth and weight gain.
