Formula Used
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor; BMR (Mifflin-St Jeor) = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age + S
TDEETotal Daily Energy ExpenditureBMRBasal Metabolic Rate — calories burned at restS5 for males, -161 for femalesActivity FactorRanges from 1.2 (sedentary) to 1.9 (extra active)The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is considered the most accurate BMR formula for most people. Your TDEE multiplies BMR by how active you are, giving a realistic daily calorie target for maintaining your weight.

Example Calculation
A 35-year-old male weighing 180 lbs at 5'10" wants to know his BMI.
Step-by-step calculation
- 1
Weight = 180 lbs → convert to kg: 180 × 0.453592 = 81.65 kg - 2
Height = 5'10" = 70 inches → convert to m: 70 × 0.0254 = 1.778 m - 3
BMI = weight / height² - 4
BMI = 81.65 / (1.778 × 1.778) - 5
BMI = 81.65 / 3.161 - 6
BMI ≈ 25.8
Result: The BMI is 25.8, which falls in the "Overweight" category (25.0-29.9). A healthy BMI range is 18.5-24.9. Small lifestyle changes like adding 30 minutes of daily walking can help move toward the healthy range.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ignoring the difference between BMR and TDEE — BMR only covers resting metabolism, while TDEE accounts for your actual daily activity
Relying on a single formula when different formulas may be more accurate for your specific body type or demographic
Forgetting that hydration status, time of day, and recent meals can all affect weight and body composition measurements
Setting extreme calorie deficits based on calculator results without consulting a healthcare professional about safe rates of weight loss
Using outdated reference ranges that may not reflect current clinical guidelines
Frequently Asked Questions
Pro Tips for Better Results
Consider having your resting metabolic rate tested professionally if calculator estimates do not seem to match your actual experience
When using body composition calculators, remember that hydration status can affect results by 1-3% — drink consistently and measure under similar conditions
For fitness progress, take circumference measurements in addition to weight — you can lose fat and gain muscle without the scale moving much
Adjust your macro ratios based on your training schedule — higher carbs on training days, higher protein on recovery days
Use trend-weight averaging rather than daily weigh-ins to smooth out normal fluctuations and see your actual progress direction
