Resting Daily Energy Expenditure (RDEE): The calculator returns the energy in food calories (kcal).

The Math / Science

The formula for Resting Daily Energy Expenditure is based on the Katch-McArdie equation as follows:

   RD=370+(21.6LBM)RD=370+(21.6LBM)

where:

  • RDEE = Resting Daily Energy Expenditure
  • LBM = Lean Body Mass
