BMR CALCULATOR

This uses the Mifflin–St Jeor equation. It is an estimate, not medical advice.

REALBURN DINNER CALCULATOR

Use your Fitbit “Calories burned” number (TDEE so far today), your BMR, hours until bed, and what you have eaten so far to get your RealBurn dinner number.

Dinner ≈ TDEE so far today + (BMR ÷ 24 × hours until bed) − (breakfast + lunch) − 500

The “500” is the built-in daily deficit, aiming for roughly one pound of fat loss per week (3500 calories).
