The TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) Calculator for Men estimates your daily calorie needs using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. It calculates both Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and total energy expenditure based on your activity level.
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for men:

Activity Multipliers:
Details: Knowing your TDEE is essential for weight management, whether your goal is weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain. It helps determine appropriate calorie intake for your fitness objectives.
Tips: Enter your weight in kg, height in cm, age in years, and select your activity level. All values must be valid (weight > 0, height > 0, age between 1-120).
Q1: What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
A: BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the calories your body burns at complete rest. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes all activities and is BMR multiplied by an activity factor.
Q2: How accurate is the Mifflin-St Jeor equation?
A: It's considered one of the most accurate equations for estimating BMR in healthy individuals, with an accuracy of about ±10% for most people.
Q3: Should I use my current weight or goal weight?
A: Always use your current weight for accurate TDEE calculation. Adjust as your weight changes.
Q4: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: Recalculate whenever your weight changes significantly (±2-3 kg) or your activity level changes substantially.
Q5: Can this calculator be used for women?
A: This specific calculator uses the equation for men. Women should use a different equation: BMR = 10 × weight + 6.25 × height - 5 × age - 161.
