Formula:
The Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is estimated using your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) multiplied by an activity factor:
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor
Where:
- BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain basic life functions (e.g., breathing, circulation). It's calculated using formulas like Mifflin-St Jeor or Harris-Benedict, considering age, gender, height, and weight.
- Activity Factor accounts for the calories burned during physical activity and daily movement. It ranges from sedentary (1.2) to extremely active (1.9).
