TDEE (Total daily energy expenditure)
Disclaimer: Please note that this Calorie calculator is just an estimate of your Total Daily Energy Expenditure. Depending on how active you are during the day and how often and to what extent you exercise, this number can change dramatically. Caloric needs can also vary from person to person depending on your previous history with levels of calorie consumption. This is just a great starting point to help you understand your body’s energy requirements.
