Example 1
- BMR = 1600 kcal
- PAL = 1.55
2480 kcal/day
What TDEE from BMR 1600 and PAL 1.55? 2480 kcal/day. Product only, no Mifflin.
TDEE from BMR
Type a ready BMR and an activity factor. 1600 × 1.55 gives 2480 kcal/day. 1800 × 1.2 gives 2160. 2000 × 1.725 gives 3450. This calculator only multiplies. Mifflin lives on BMR.
Not a clinic verdict and not a meal plan. The calculator does not compute BMR from weight and height. You type BMR, then × PAL.

How it works
TDEE in this calculator is a product: a ready BMR times an activity factor PAL. 1600 × 1.55 = 2480. The result is 2480 kcal/day. 1800 × 1.2 = 2160 kcal/day. 2000 × 1.725 = 3450 kcal/day. There is no weight, height, or age here.
You need BMR from another calculator or from a Mifflin label. Field a is already in kcal. Field b is PAL, for example 1.2, 1.55, or 1.725. The calculator does not guess the factor from a workout count.
PAL 1.2 is sitting. 1.55 is a typical week with 3-5 sessions. 1.725 is almost daily work. A wrong PAL wrecks the balance more than 50 kcal on BMR: 1600 × 1.2 = 1920, and 1600 × 1.55 = 2480.
Full TDEE from sex, age, weight, and height lives on the TDEE card. The resting base without movement lives on BMR. Here you stay with the product, so you can check 2480 from your own BMR.
Type BMR, type PAL, then Calculate. A comma in 1.55 parses like a dot. Zero BMR gives zero. A maintain sketch, not a clinic diet.
1600 × 1.55 gives 2480 kcal/day. 1800 × 1.2 gives 2160. 2000 × 1.725 gives 3450. For a cut you subtract from that number, not from BMR.
Formula
TDEE = BMR × PAL
How to use
- Type a ready BMR, for example 1600.
- Type PAL, for example 1.55.
- Click Calculate. The result is 2480 kcal/day.
- 1800 and 1.2 give 2160. 2000 and 1.725 give 3450.
- BMR from weight and height lives on the BMR page. Here you only multiply.
1600 × 1.55 = 2480 kcal/day
TDEE = BMR × PAL. 1600 × 1.55 gives 2480 kcal/day. The calculator does not compute BMR from weight.
- TDEE
- BMR times PAL. 1600 × 1.55 shows 2480 kcal/day.
- BMR
- The ready base in kcal, field a. No Mifflin here. 1800 × 1.2 gives 2160.
- PAL
- The activity multiplier. 1.2 is sitting. 1.725 with 2000 gives 3450 kcal/day.
Examples
Example 2
- BMR = 1800 kcal
- PAL = 1.2
2160 kcal/day
What TDEE from BMR 1800 and PAL 1.2? 2160 kcal/day. Sitting, not training.
Example 3
- BMR = 2000 kcal
- PAL = 1.725
3450 kcal/day
What TDEE from BMR 2000 and PAL 1.725? 3450 kcal/day. A high PAL.

Common questions
What TDEE from BMR 1600 and PAL 1.55?
2480 kcal/day. 1600 × 1.55 = 2480. The calculator only multiplies.
Does this calculator compute BMR?
No. The first field already takes BMR in kilocalories. The Mifflin–St Jeor formula from weight and height is on the BMR page.
What about 1800 and 1.2?
2160 kcal/day. PAL 1.2 is sitting with no training.
What about 2000 and 1.725?
3450 kcal/day. A high PAL, almost daily work.
What does PAL mean?
The activity factor. 1.2 sitting, 1.55 a typical training week, 1.725 a lot of movement.
How is this different from the TDEE card?
That card computes BMR from Mifflin, then multiplies. Here you type a ready BMR.
Is 2480 a meal plan?
No. A maintain sketch from a product. Not a clinic verdict.
What do I subtract a deficit from?
From TDEE, not from BMR. 2480 minus 400 is about 2080, still above 1600.
Does a comma in 1.55 work?
Yes. 1.55 and 1,55 both give 2480 kcal/day.
