What the daily calories calculator covers

Daily calories are your TDEE broken into the parts you can control—resting burn, lifestyle movement, workouts, and digestion.

Log steps and workouts on days you track them, or stay in simple mode when you just need a quick maintenance estimate.

Abbreviations you’ll see in the results

Each part of your daily burn gets its own label so you can compare days at a glance.

TDEE
Total Daily Energy Expenditure—the sum of your resting, activity, workout, and TEF calories.
NEAT
Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis—general movement like walking, chores, and time on your feet.
EAT
Exercise Activity Thermogenesis—energy burned through logged workouts.
TEF
Thermic Effect of Food—the energy cost of digesting meals, usually about 10% of intake.
BMR
Basal Metabolic Rate—the resting portion of your burn that stays fairly stable day to day.

Daily calories FAQ

How is this different from the TDEE calculator?

TDEE gives you a quick average. The daily calculator lets you log exact steps, workouts, and TEF per day so you can plan training blocks.

Do I have to log steps and workouts every day?

No. Use the simple tab when you want a rapid estimate, and switch to advanced mode when you have detailed data.

Can I use these numbers for calorie cycling?

Yes. Track higher-burn days versus lighter ones, then adjust intake so surpluses and deficits line up with your goal.
