About FreeTDEECalc.com
Draft: the owner's legal business name will be added here before launch.
FreeTDEECalc.com is a free calculator for estimating total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), basal metabolic rate (BMR) and maintenance calories. It is run by FreeTDEECalc.com.
What we aim for
- Clear, honest estimates. We use published equations, show which one produced your number, and explain the uncertainty instead of hiding it.
- Gentle guidance. We show maintenance and gradual-change ranges only. We don’t promote rapid weight loss and don’t display very low calorie targets.
- Privacy by design. Calculations run in your browser. There is no account and we don’t store the numbers you type.
- Fast on any phone. Pages load quickly and work on small screens, in light or dark mode.
How the numbers are made
The methodology page lists every formula, the activity factors, our limits on goal targets, how we verified the math, and full citations. The content has not yet been reviewed by a medical professional; that is stated on the methodology page and will be updated when a review takes place.
A note on using these numbers. Calorie estimates vary from person to person, and nothing on this site is medical advice. If you have a health condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are under 18, please talk to a doctor or registered dietitian. If food, eating or your body has been feeling hard to manage, you don't have to handle it alone: the National Alliance for Eating Disorders offers a free helpline, (866) 662-1235, staffed by licensed therapists.
