TDEE Calculator

Mifflin-St Jeor BMR × activity multiplier. The same formula registered dietitians use. GLP-1 patients tend to undershoot — find your maintenance, then pick a sustainable cut.

On a GLP-1

Appetite suppression means you may naturally eat below TDEE. Track protein (0.7-1.0 g/lb body weight) to preserve muscle during weight loss. Aim for mild-to-moderate cuts; aggressive deficits accelerate muscle loss when combined with semaglutide/tirzepatide.

Mifflin-St Jeor is the most accurate BMR equation for adults per the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
