TDEE by Activity Level
These estimates show how daily energy
expenditure changes with different
activity assumptions.
Sedentary
Little or no exercise
-
Lightly Active
Exercise 1–3 days/week
-
Moderately Active
Exercise 3–5 days/week
-
Very Active
Exercise 6–7 days/week
-
Extra Active
Very hard exercise or physical job
-

How is TDEE calculated?
First, the calculator estimates BMR using
the Mifflin–St Jeor equation.
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor
The activity factors used are:
Sedentary = 1.2
Lightly Active = 1.375
Moderately Active = 1.55
Very Active = 1.725
Extra Active = 1.9
Example:
BMR = 1,649 kcal/day
Moderate Activity = 1.55
TDEE ≈ 1,649 × 1.55
TDEE ≈ 2,556 kcal/day
Important:
TDEE is an estimate, not an exact measurement
or dietary prescription. Actual energy needs
can vary with body composition, daily movement,
exercise intensity, health, pregnancy,
medications and other individual factors.
This calculator is intended for general
informational use by adults.
