How This Works

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the most accurate for most people. TDEE = BMR × activity multiplier. For weight loss, a 500 kcal/day deficit creates approximately 0.5kg/week loss (1 pound). A 300 kcal surplus supports gradual muscle gain of ~0.2–0.3kg/week in trained individuals.

TDEE calculators are estimates — individual metabolic rates vary by ±15% due to factors including muscle mass, hormones, gut microbiome, and NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis, i.e. how much you fidget). Use the calculator as a starting point, then track your weight weekly for 2–3 weeks. If weight is not changing, adjust calories by 100–150 kcal and reassess after another 2 weeks.
