Estimate your daily calorie burn
Total daily energy expenditure, or TDEE, is roughly how many calories you burn in a full day once movement and exercise are counted. It takes your basal rate and multiplies it by an activity factor from sedentary up to athlete. Enter your details and pick an activity level to see your maintenance calories, the amount that keeps your weight steady. Treat the result as an estimate, not medical advice.
Choosing an activity level
Most people sit between lightly and moderately active; be honest, as overstating activity inflates the number.
