Daily caloric expenditure combines Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and physical activity. Using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, a 30-year-old male weighing 75 kg at 178 cm height has a resting BMR of ~1,718 calories, scaling to ~2,362 daily calories for moderate physical activity.

Daily Energy Expenditure & Caloric Target
Practical step-by-step numerical demonstration with real-world parameters

A 30-year-old active adult weighing 75 kg (165 lbs), height 175 cm, exercising moderately 4 days per week.

Baseline Inputs

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):

1,699 kcal / day

Physical Activity Level (PAL):

1.55 (Moderate Exercise)

Computed Benchmarks

Maintenance Calories (TDEE):

2,633 kcal / day

Target for Fat Loss (-500 kcal):

2,133 kcal / day

Target for Muscle Surplus (+300 kcal):

2,933 kcal / day

Takeaway & Analysis: A 500 kcal daily deficit yields an approximate body fat loss of 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) per week safely without muscle catabolism.
