TDEE Calculator
Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure in Pakistan — calories to maintain, lose or gain weight.
About the TDEE Calculator
The TDEE Calculator gives you a clear, instant answer to a question that usually means digging through tables or guessing — enter your numbers and read the result straight away.
Health numbers — BMI, BMR, calorie needs, ideal weight — are the foundation of any fitness or weight plan. This TDEE Calculator computes one of them accurately so you can set goals based on your body's actual numbers rather than generic advice.
The calculation follows established medical formulas: the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR, the standard BMI classification, and the activity multipliers used by dietitians to estimate total daily energy needs.
For Pakistanis, the same BMI and calorie standards apply, but body composition varies — which is why these tools are starting points, not diagnoses. Combine the number with professional advice for serious health goals.
Track the number over time rather than once. Whether it is BMI trending down or calorie needs changing with activity, the trend tells you whether your plan is working.
The TDEE Calculator is one of a large, connected suite of Pakistani calculators on GuruAlpha, so if a related figure comes up next, the tool for it is a click away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
Eat 300–500 calories below your TDEE to lose about 0.3–0.5 kg per week. Combine with protein (1.6–2.2 g/kg) and strength training to preserve muscle.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Muscular individuals may show a high BMI while being healthy, and it doesn't account for age, sex or body composition. Use it as a guide, not a verdict.
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
Eat 300–500 calories below your total daily energy needs (BMR × activity factor). A deficit of 500 calories per day leads to roughly 0.5 kg of fat loss per week.
