Find out how many calories you burn in a day, and how many to eat to maintain, lose or gain weight at a safe pace.
How this works
Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) = BMR (Mifflin–St Jeor) × an activity factor: 1.2 sedentary, 1.375 lightly active, 1.55 moderately active, 1.725 very active, 1.9 extremely active.
Weight change targets use the common estimate that about 3,500 calories equals one pound of body weight (7,700 per kg). Real-world results vary, so treat the numbers as a starting point and adjust after a few weeks.
Results are estimates for general information only and are not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before making major changes to your diet or exercise, especially if you are pregnant or have a health condition.
