Guide to the Daily Calorie Requirements Calculator

Sedentary = BMR * 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly Active = BMR * 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Moderately Active = BMR * 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very Active = BMR * 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extremely Active = BMR * 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training)
BMR Formula for Men = 66 + (13.7 * wt in kg) + (5 * ht in cm) – (6.8 * age in years)
BMR Formula for Women = 655 + (9.6 * wt kilos) + (1.8 * ht in cm) – (4.7 * age in years)

How to Calculate Daily Calorie

Whenever the energy expenditure information changes: age, weight, and/or activity level, you would need to recalculate your TDEE.

The last option, use metric, you want to select no for USA measurements or your TDEE will be too high.
