TDEE Calculator: Find Your Daily Calorie Needs
Get your Total Daily Energy Expenditure based on age, height, weight, and activity level — plus targets for maintaining, cutting, or bulking.
Calculate My TDEEUnderstanding TDEE
BMR is your baseline
Basal Metabolic Rate is the energy your body burns at complete rest, just to keep vital functions running.
Activity multiplies it
TDEE takes your BMR and scales it up based on how active you are day to day, giving a realistic total daily calorie need.
Protein needs shift with your goal
In a calorie deficit, higher protein intake helps preserve muscle mass. When building muscle, it supports the growth process directly.
Common TDEE Questions
What is TDEE and how is it different from BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the energy your body needs at complete rest. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) adds your activity level on top of BMR to estimate your full daily calorie needs.
How accurate is a TDEE calculator?
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, considered one of the more accurate formulas available, but individual metabolism varies. Treat the result as a solid starting estimate to adjust based on real-world results over a few weeks.
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
A common approach is a moderate deficit of roughly 15-20% below TDEE, which supports gradual, sustainable fat loss while helping preserve muscle mass, especially when protein intake stays adequate.
Can supplements replace a calorie deficit for weight loss?
No — supplements are not a substitute for calorie balance. Anivol's products support nutrition (protein intake, micronutrient variety) alongside a balanced diet and activity level, not as a replacement for it.
