🍽️ Calorie Calculator (TDEE)
Your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) is the number of calories you burn per day, including activity. This figure is your starting point for maintaining, losing or gaining weight.
Daily calorie burn (TDEE)
2.662 kcal/dag
Maintenance (keep weight stable)
2.662 kcal
BMR (basal metabolic rate): = 1.718 kcal
Multiply by activity factor: × 1,55 = 2.662 kcal
Formula
TDEE = BMR × activity factor
The calculator first computes your BMR using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula and multiplies it by a factor matching how active you are: 1.2 for a sedentary lifestyle up to 1.9 for elite athletes. The more active you are, the higher your total burn above your BMR.
limitations
- This is an estimate; your actual burn can differ due to individual factors. Track your weight over a few weeks to fine-tune your own figure.
commonMistakes
- Overestimating your own activity level, which inflates the calculated burn.
useCases
- Setting a calorie target for losing weight (eat less than your TDEE) or gaining (eat more).
