What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total calories your body burns each day including exercise. To lose weight, eat below your TDEE. To gain muscle, eat above it. This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor formula — the most accurate for most people.

What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the calories your body burns at complete rest just to maintain basic functions. Your TDEE is BMR multiplied by your activity level.
