TDEE & Macro Calculator

Dialing in your diet? Enter your stats below and get your daily calorie target plus exact protein, carb, and fat grams. Flip on GLP-1 Mode if you're running retatrutide, tirzepatide, or semaglutide — it protects your muscle while the fat comes off.

How to use it

Your stats, your numbers

TDEE is your Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the calories you burn in a day. We calculate it from your body stats and activity, then build your calorie target and macros around your goal. On a GLP-1? Flip the toggle and the math shifts to defend your lean mass.

01
Your stats
Enter age, sex, height, and weight. Switch between lb/in and kg/cm anytime.
02
Activity level
Pick how active you are day to day — this scales your burn from your baseline.
03
Your goal
Lose, maintain, or gain. This sets your calorie target above or below maintenance.
04
Read your macros
Get daily calories plus protein, carb, and fat grams to hit your target.
GLP-1 Mode Reta · Tirz · Sema
On a GLP-1, appetite drops hard and it's easy to under-eat and lose muscle. Flip this on for a muscle-protecting protein floor, a smarter deficit cap, and a warning if your target dips below your baseline burn.

How the math works

We calculate BMR with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then multiply by your activity level to get TDEE (maintenance calories). Your goal sets the adjustment: a deficit to lose, a surplus to gain. Protein is set per pound of bodyweight to protect muscle, fat to a healthy floor, and carbs fill the rest.

Why GLP-1 Mode is different

On retatrutide, tirzepatide, or semaglutide, appetite suppression makes severe under-eating easy — which burns muscle alongside fat. GLP-1 Mode caps your deficit, raises your protein floor to ~1 g per pound of goal weight, and flags any target that falls below your BMR. Slower, muscle-sparing fat loss beats the scale dropping fast while you lose lean mass.
