I spent an afternoon researching TDEE calculators. Here is what I found:
MacroFactor: $71.99/year. And you need to log every meal for 3 weeks before it gives you a TDEE.
MyFitnessPal Premium: $79.99/year. TDEE is buried in settings.
Cronometer Gold: $59.99/year. Single formula, no Katch-McArdle.
FreeTDEE (freetdee.com): Free. Instant. 6+ formulas. No account.
The math is the same
All use the same equations: Mifflin-St Jeor, Harris-Benedict, Katch-McArdle. The formulas are public.
| Feature | MacroFactor | MFP Premium | Cronometer Gold | FreeTDEE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $71.99/yr | $79.99/yr | $59.99/yr | Free |
| Katch-McArdle | No | No | No | Yes |
| Account | Required | Required | Required | None |
I built FreeTDEE because every calculator either charged money or was buried in an app I did not want.
