Why BMR and TDEE Matter Quality weight loss calculators use established formulas to estimate your metabolic needs: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) : Calories needed for basic bodily functions Mifflin-St Jeor Equation (most accurate for general population) Harris-Benedict Equation (classic formula) Katch-McArdle Equation (uses lean body mass) Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) : BMR plus activity calories The calculator multiplies your BMR by an activity factor: Sedentary (1.2) - Desk job, minimal 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 Extremely active (1.9) - Very hard exercise, physical job Learn more about BMR calculations in our comprehensive BMR Calculator guide
