How it works

Resting energy (Mifflin-St Jeor) = 10 × kg + 6.25 × cm − 5 × age + 5 (male) or − 161 (female). TDEE = resting energy × activity factor (1.2–1.9).

Mifflin et al. 1990 ↗

FAQ

Should I add workout calories?

No. The activity factor already includes your training, so adding it again counts it twice.

How accurate is it?

It is a population average. Eat at this level for two or three weeks, watch your weight, then adjust.
