How Calories Are Calculated

This uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the most accurate BMR formula. Your BMR is multiplied by an activity factor to get Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

Eat about 500 calories below your TDEE for approximately 1 pound of weight loss per week. Never go below 1200 calories without medical supervision.

What is BMR vs TDEE?

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is calories burned at rest. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes activity and is what you actually burn daily.
