BMR & TDEE Calculator

Discover your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) to achieve your goals in a healthy way.

What is TDEE and BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body requires to maintain vital functions at rest (like breathing and maintaining body temperature).

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the number of calories your body needs on a daily basis, taking into account your physical activity level. Knowing your daily expenditure is the first step to controlling your weight according to your goals.

The Importance of Calories

Calories are our body's fuel. When we consume excess calories, the body stores them as fat. If we consume less than we need, the body uses our accumulated fat for energy.

• To lose weight: Reduce your daily caloric intake (caloric deficit). Exercise is recommended to prevent muscle loss.
• To gain weight: Consume more calories than you burn (caloric surplus). Be careful not to overdo it and accumulate unnecessary fat.

How is the calculation done?

Our calculator uses scientific formulas (like the Harris-Benedict equation) that consider your age, weight, height, gender, and physical activity level to estimate your caloric needs.

Guidelines recommend an average of 1,600 daily calories for adult women and 2,000 for men, but these are just averages. The calculator provides a personalized value based on your exact biometrics.
