Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the number of calories your body burns in a day. It’s the foundation of all calorie tracking, and Weight Loss Navigator makes it simple to calculate.

  • Enter your age, weight, height, and gender
  • Choose your activity level (e.g. sedentary, lightly active, etc.)
  • The app estimates your daily calorie burn

Once you know your TDEE, you can set a calorie deficit goal—and start tracking your food and exercise with clarity and purpose.
