Quick summary

Compare basal metabolic rate (BMR) against total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) to see how much activity adds.

How to calculate bmr vs tdee manually

  1. BMR uses Mifflin-St Jeor.
  2. TDEE = BMR × activity factor (1.2 sedentary → 1.9 very active).
  3. The difference is the calorie cost of activity.

Compare basal metabolic rate (BMR) against total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) to see how much activity adds.

How it works

BMR uses Mifflin-St Jeor. TDEE = BMR × activity factor (1.2 sedentary → 1.9 very active). The difference is the calorie cost of activity.

Example

30y male, 175 cm, 70 kg, moderate → BMR 1,649, TDEE 2,556 (+907 kcal, ×1.55).
