TDEE calculator

Your total daily calorie burn, basal metabolic rate multiplied by a realistic activity factor.

Your result2,130 kcal / day

Your basal metabolic rate multiplied by an activity factor. The approximate calories you burn per day.

Talk to a doctor

Activity factors are approximations. If you wear a reliable fitness tracker or app, your weekly average of kcal burned will be more accurate than any formula.

Common questions
No, it is an estimate within roughly ±10%. Activity factors are broad buckets. Use it as a starting point, then adjust based on two or three weeks of real scale trend.
Usually not. Trackers overestimate burn, and the activity factor already assumes your typical movement. Eating them back is the most common reason a deficit stalls.
A lighter body needs less energy. Recalculate every 5 kg or so. The number that maintained your old weight can maintain your new one.
