How It Calculates
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate your BMR based on your weight, height, age, and gender. Your BMR is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic functions. The calculator then multiplies your BMR by an activity multiplier to estimate your TDEE, which accounts for physical activity.
