Daily Calorie Intake Calculator (BMR and TDEE)

Estimate your daily calorie needs using Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). This helps you understand your maintenance calories based on your body and activity level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic functions at rest (breathing, circulation, temperature control).
What is TDEE?
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) estimates how many calories you burn in a full day after adding activity. It’s often used as your “maintenance calories.”
Why is my result different from my friend’s?
Calorie needs vary based on age, sex, height, weight, muscle mass, and activity. Two people can have very different maintenance calories.
How do I use this result?
Use “Maintain” as a starting point. If you want to change weight, small adjustments and consistency matter. Track progress over a few weeks and adjust gradually.
