1. What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is an estimate of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account. It's calculated by first figuring out your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then multiplying that value by an activity multiplier.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation for men:

\[ TDEE = (10 \times weight + 6.25 \times height - 5 \times age + 5) \times activity\_factor \]

Where:

\( weight \) — Body weight in kilograms (kg)
\( height \) — Height in centimeters (cm)
\( age \) — Age in years
\( activity\_factor \) — Multiplier based on activity level

Activity Factors:

Sedentary (little or no exercise): 1.2
Lightly active (light exercise 1-3 days/week): 1.375
Moderately active (moderate exercise 3-5 days/week): 1.55
Very active (hard exercise 6-7 days/week): 1.725
Extra active (very hard exercise, physical job): 1.9

3. Importance of TDEE Calculation

Details: Knowing your TDEE is essential for weight management. To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than your TDEE; to gain weight, you need to consume more calories than your TDEE.

4. Using the Calculator

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).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this TDEE calculation?
A: The Mifflin-St Jeor Equation is considered one of the most accurate formulas for estimating BMR, but individual results may vary based on body composition and other factors.

Q2: Should I use my current weight or goal weight?
A: Always use your current weight for the most accurate TDEE calculation.

Q3: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: You should recalculate your TDEE whenever your weight changes significantly (more than 2-3 kg) or your activity level changes.

Q4: What if I'm between activity levels?
A: Choose the activity level that best represents your average weekly activity. If you're between two levels, you might want to calculate both and use an average.

Q5: Why is this calculator specifically for men?
A: The equation uses different constants for men and women due to physiological differences in metabolism and body composition.
