TDEE Calculator
Estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure and get macro splits for fat loss, maintenance, and muscle gain.
How It Works
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the most validated formula for estimating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your BMR is then multiplied by an activity factor to estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE):
- Sedentary (×1.2) — Desk job, little to no exercise
- Lightly Active (×1.375) — Light exercise 1–3 days per week
- Moderately Active (×1.55) — Moderate exercise 3–5 days per week
- Very Active (×1.725) — Hard exercise 6–7 days per week
- Extremely Active (×1.9) — Very hard exercise, physical job, or two-a-days
Macro breakdowns are provided for three common goals: cutting (−500 kcal), maintenance, and bulking (+300 kcal), using standard sport nutrition ratios.
Why It Matters
Knowing your TDEE gives you a calorie target to build your nutrition around — whether your goal is fat loss, maintenance, or muscle gain. SensAI factors your actual training volume and recovery data into nutrition guidance that adapts as your activity changes.
