USE THE ESTIMATE, THEN CALIBRATE
No equation can directly measure TDEE. Your best personalised figure comes from comparing a consistent calorie intake with average morning weight over 2–4 weeks. Activity multipliers are estimates, so this calculator displays a sensible ±10% maintenance range and avoids claiming false precision.
Mifflin–St Jeor is used by default. When a reliable body-fat percentage is supplied, Auto uses the Cunningham lean-mass equation. Do not use this tool for anyone under 18, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in place of individual clinical advice.
