What is BMR & TDEE? (Simple Explanation)
BMR – Basal Metabolic Rate
BMR is the number of calories your body burns while at complete rest (just to stay alive). It is used for heartbeat, breathing, and body temperature regulation.
TDEE – Total Daily Energy Expenditure
TDEE is your total daily calorie burn including daily activities and exercise. Understanding TDEE helps you lose, gain, or maintain weight.
Calorie Calculation Formula & Method
Mifflin-St Jeor Equation (Most Accurate)
For Males:
BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) – (5 × age) + 5
For Females:
BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) – (5 × age) – 161
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor
| Activity Level | Factor | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sedentary | 1.2 | Office work, no exercise |
| Lightly Active | 1.375 | Light exercise 1-3 days/week |
| Moderately Active | 1.55 | Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week |
| Very Active | 1.725 | Hard exercise 6-7 days/week |
| Extra Active | 1.9 | Physical job + daily exercise |
Calorie Adjustment Based on Goal
| Goal | Calorie Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Lose Weight | Subtract 500 calories from TDEE |
| Maintain Weight | Equal to TDEE |
| Gain Weight | Add 300-500 calories to TDEE |
Macronutrient Breakdown (Protein, Carbs, Fats)
Not just calories, but where those calories come from matters. A healthy diet should have:
| Nutrient | Percentage | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | 30% | Muscle building, tissue repair, immunity |
| Carbohydrates | 50% | Energy supply, brain function |
| Fats | 20% | Hormone production, vitamin absorption |
Calories per gram: Protein = 4 cal, Carbs = 4 cal, Fats = 9 cal

Formula: Drink (body weight in kg × 0.03) liters daily. For example, a 70kg person needs 2.1 liters of water per day.
