What does TDEE mean?

Total daily energy expenditure combines your resting energy needs with everyday movement and exercise.

The calculation

This calculator uses the Mifflin–St Jeor equation for resting metabolic rate, then multiplies it by the activity factor you select.

BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age + s
s = +5 for male, −161 for female
TDEE = BMR × activity factor

Reference: Mifflin et al., 1990.
