Maintenance Calorie Calculator
Calculate your maintenance calories (TDEE) — the exact number of calories you need to maintain your current weight. Based on age, gender, height, weight, and activity.
Your maintenance calories (also called TDEE — Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the number of calories you burn per day including all activity. Eating this amount keeps your weight stable. It is the starting point for any weight loss or gain plan.
Tips for Maintenance Calorie
TDEE = BMR (base metabolism) × Activity Multiplier — your activity level has a huge impact
Your TDEE changes as your weight, age, and activity level change — recalculate every few months
Track your weight for 2-3 weeks at your calculated TDEE to verify accuracy, then adjust
