TDEE Equation for Men:
From: | To: |
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) represents the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including basal metabolic rate (BMR) and calories burned through physical activity. It's essential for weight management and nutrition planning.
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation for men:
Where:
Activity Factors:
Details: Knowing your TDEE helps you determine appropriate calorie intake for weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain. It provides a scientific basis for creating effective nutrition plans.
Tips: Enter your weight in kg, height in cm, age in years, and select your activity level based on your typical weekly exercise routine. All values must be valid positive numbers.
Q1: How accurate is the TDEE calculation?
A: The Mifflin-St Jeor Equation is considered one of the most accurate formulas for estimating BMR, though individual variations may exist.
Q2: Should I use my current weight or goal weight?
A: Always use your current weight for accurate TDEE calculation. Adjust as your weight changes.
Q3: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: Recalculate whenever your weight changes significantly (±2-3 kg) or your activity level changes substantially.
Q4: What if I'm between activity levels?
A: Choose the level that best matches your average weekly activity. You can also use intermediate values if needed.
Q5: Can this calculator be used for women?
A: This specific calculator uses the male equation. Women should use a different formula: (10 × weight + 6.25 × height - 5 × age - 161).
