Enter your current body weight, height, age, and sex into the TDEE for a 130 lb Very Active man.
Select the activity level that best matches your weekly exercise volume (err conservative if unsure).
Use the TDEE output as your maintenance calories. Set a 15–20% deficit for fat loss, or 5–10% surplus for muscle gain.
Recalculate every 4–6 weeks as body weight changes alter your BMR and TDEE.
Based on standard Mifflin-St Jeor estimates (height ~178cm, age ~35):
| Goal | Daily Calories | |---|---| | Fat Loss (Cut) | ~2115 kcal (−20%) | | Maintenance | ~2644 kcal | | Muscle Gain (Bulk) | ~2908 kcal (+10%) |
Use BMI alongside waist circumference and body fat % for a complete cardiovascular risk picture that BMI alone cannot provide.
If weight loss has stalled, recalculate your BMR with current body weight and activity level — metabolic adaptation reduces TDEE by 5–10% over time.
Calculate your TDEE and set a 15–20% caloric deficit to trigger fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass.
Use 1RM-derived percentages to program your squat, bench, and deadlift with scientifically-validated rep schemes for your goal (strength vs hypertrophy).
