Calories needed by the body at complete rest.
Use the SVRG TDEE calculator to find your daily caloric needs based on your goal: lose weight, maintain, or build muscle mass.
After filling in the data, you will see your estimated daily calorie needs here.

The number above is the starting point for estimating your daily calorie needs. Let's understand how to use it correctly.
The calorie needs you require may differ slightly. This is due to your unique metabolism, body composition, and daily routine.
Make your TDEE result the foundation or initial reference for your nutritional planning.
Regularly evaluate your weight movements and physical performance.
Flexibly adjust your calorie intake as your activity levels change.
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is an estimate of the total calories your body uses in one day, including energy for basic bodily functions (breathing, blood circulation, heart rate) and your daily activities (from walking, working, to exercising).
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): The minimum number of calories your body needs to maintain vital functions while you are at complete rest (without performing any activity).
TDEE: The result of your BMR calculation multiplied by your daily activity level. Therefore, your TDEE number is always higher than your BMR and reflects the actual calories you burn each day.
TDEE calculators use standard scientific formulas (such as Mifflin-St Jeor or Harris-Benedict) that are over 90% accurate for the general population. However, this number is still an estimate. Each individual's metabolism can vary slightly based on body composition, genetics, and hormonal factors.
Yes, TDEE can change. Your TDEE will increase if you gain weight, increase muscle mass, or your daily activity level goes up. Conversely, TDEE will decrease if you experience weight loss or become less physically active.
Choose the option in the calculator that best matches your weekly routine:
Tip: If you are unsure between two options, it is recommended to choose the activity level one step lower so that your calorie target is not overestimated.
There is no mandatory schedule. However, it is advisable to recalculate your TDEE whenever there is a significant change in body weight (e.g., gaining or losing 2–3 kg), or when you drastically change your physical activity routine (e.g., from rarely exercising to regularly going to the gym every day).
