Why every fitness app makes TDEE confusing and my free fix

I have been tracking calories for 2 years and every TDEE calculator I used asked for my email, pushed a premium plan, or was buried in some fitness apps onboarding flow. So I built my own.

FreeTDEE.com does one thing: calculates your daily calorie needs using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula. Pick your activity level, get your maintenance calories, cutting target, and bulking target instantly. That is it.

No app to download. No account required. The data stays in your browsers localStorage so you can come back and see your history. Built with Next.js + Cloudflare Pages in about 3 hours using AI.
