TDEE Calculator — FAQs

TDEE vs BMR?

BMR is what you'd burn lying still. TDEE adds activity — it's the number that matters for eating targets.

How accurate?

±10% typically — calorie labels, NEAT and metabolism vary. Track weight for 2 weeks and adjust ±200 kcal.

Which activity level?

Most people overestimate — gym 3×/week with a desk job is 'light', not 'moderate'. When in doubt, go one level lower.
