What the body burns at complete rest, before any movement.
TDEE by activity level
| Activity | TDEE (kcal/day) |
|---|---|
| Sedentary (desk job, no exercise) | 1,951 |
| Light (1-3 workouts/week) | 2,236 |
| Moderate (3-5 workouts/week) | 2,520 |
| Active (6-7 workouts/week) | 2,805 |

Calorie targets at moderate activity
- Fat loss (-20%): ~2,016 kcal/day
- Maintenance: ~2,520 kcal/day
- Lean muscle gain (+10%): ~2,772 kcal/day
These are starting points. Eat at the target for 14 days, average your daily weight, and adjust by 100-150 kcal in the direction the scale needs to move.
How this is calculated
BMR uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the modern standard for adults: 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age + s, where s is +5 for men and −161 for women. TDEE multiplies BMR by an activity factor between 1.2 (sedentary) and 1.9 (athlete). For a personalized result, use the TDEE calculator.
