TDEE Calculator
Estimate maintenance calories with Mifflin-St Jeor, then take the number into the free Vitality Engine meal plan.
Hunter: I treat this as a starting point, then adjust after two weeks of honest logging.
What TDEE actually is
TDEE is an estimate of how many calories you burn in a day, training included. It is not a lab test. Use it to set a meal plan, then watch the scale and your lifts.
How a 17-25 athlete should use it
If you lift 4 days and still play a sport, pick active, not moderate. Then open the Engine and generate a grocery list that hits the number without eating like a brochure.
FAQ
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a coaching estimate. Talk to a clinician if you have a medical condition.
Why Mifflin-St Jeor?
It is a standard BMR formula. Close enough to start. Your weekly average weight is the real referee.
