Pick 1 of 5 calorie targets. Select a goal to preview its daily calories, weekly rate, and the 3 macro split options for that goal.

Calculate your TDEE

What This Estimate Means

At 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), 231 lb (105 kg), and a very active routine, this example estimates maintenance at 3,502 calories per day. A higher estimate can reflect both larger body measurements and greater activity; it is not determined by activity alone.

Practical Tip

If you have a physically demanding job and train outside work, consider both when choosing your activity level. If your job becomes less active or your training schedule changes, recalculate rather than continuing to use an estimate based on your previous routine.
