TDEE Calculator

  1. BMI (Body Mass Index):
    • BMI is a numerical value derived from a person’s height and weight. It is a widely used indicator to categorize individuals into different weight status categories, such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. While BMI provides a general assessment of body composition, it does not directly measure body fat percentage or distribution.
    • Underweight:
      • BMI less than 18.5
    • Normal Weight:
      • BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
    • Overweight:
      • BMI between 25 and 29.9
    • Obesity:
      • BMI 30 or greater
  2. BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate):
    • BMR represents the number of calories your body needs at rest to maintain basic physiological functions, such as breathing and circulation. It serves as a baseline for estimating daily calorie requirements. Understanding your BMR helps in creating personalized nutrition plans tailored to individual energy needs.
  3. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure):
    • TDEE is the total number of calories a person burns in a day, accounting for both their basal metabolic rate (BMR) and additional calories expended through physical activity. To manage weight effectively, individuals can adjust their calorie intake based on their TDEE. It considers factors like exercise level, occupation, and lifestyle to provide a more accurate estimate of daily energy needs.
