Basal Metabolic Rate Calculator + Total Daily Energy Expenditure

Click the button below to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), also known as your resting metabolism, represents the energy your body requires to perform essential functions while at complete rest. Even when you're not physically active, your body still burns calories to maintain vital processes like breathing, circulating blood, regulating heart rate, and supporting brain function.

However, BMR only accounts for the calories burned at rest. Your overall daily energy expenditure also depends on your activity level.

After determining your BMR using the Harris-Benedict formula, you can then estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). TDEE reflects the total calories you burn in a day, combining your BMR with the calories burned through physical activity.
