Understanding This Calculator
Daily Calorie Needs Formula
Your daily calorie requirement, or Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), is calculated by identifying your BMR and multiplying it by an activity factor.
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor
- Sedentary: +20% (x1.2) - (Desk job, little exercise)
- Light Active: +30-40% (x1.375) - (Light exercise 1-3 days/week)
- Moderate Active: +55% (x1.55) - (Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week)
- Very Active: +72.5% (x1.725) - (Heavy exercise 6-7 days/week)
Example 1
BMR = 1,600, Sedentary Job (1.2).
- Calculation: 1600 × 1.2
- Daily Needs: 1,920 Calories
Example 2
BMR = 1,800, Very Active (1.725).
- Calculation: 1800 × 1.725
- Daily Needs: 3,105 Calories
How to Use
- Enter your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate).
- Select your physical activity level.
