Formula and assumptions

TDEE Lab uses Mifflin-St Jeor to estimate BMR, multiplies BMR by a standard activity factor, then adjusts calories for fat loss, maintenance, or muscle gain.

Use the output as a planning estimate. Track real progress for a few weeks before adjusting calories by small amounts.
