This Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculator is a calorie estimate tool designed to help you approximate your daily calorie needs (maintenance calories) based on factors like age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. It may also provide estimates related to basal metabolic rate (BMR), body mass index (BMI), and macronutrient (macro) targets. These numbers are informational estimates only and are not a substitute for medical, nutrition, or mental health care.

  • Not medical advice: This TDEE calculator does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It is not medical advice, nutrition counseling, or a personalized treatment plan.
  • Estimates only: Calorie needs, calorie deficit targets (for weight loss), calorie surplus targets (for muscle gain), and macro targets can vary significantly from person to person. Your actual results may differ based on metabolism, body composition, health history, sleep, stress, medications, hormones, and other factors.
  • Talk to a qualified professional: Before making changes to diet, exercise, supplements, or calorie intake, consult a licensed healthcare provider and/or a registered dietitian—especially if you have diabetes, thyroid disorders, heart conditions, metabolic conditions, injuries, or are taking prescription medications.
  • Extra care recommended: Get professional guidance before using calorie or macro targets if you are pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding, under 18, in recovery from an eating disorder, have a history of disordered eating, or are working with clinically significant anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns.
  • Not for emergencies: Do not use this calculator for urgent or emergency health concerns. If you think you may have a medical emergency, seek immediate medical care.
