Estimate daily energy expenditure with metabolic model choice and activity.
TDEE depends on the BMR model you start from and on the activity factor you apply afterward. That is why body-composition-aware models can make the estimate more personalized before you even talk about steps or training.
Many people try to improve TDEE only by changing the activity multiplier, but the metabolic base matters too. If BMR starts too low or too high, the error gets multiplied across the whole daily estimate.
That is why comparing Mifflin, Katch-McArdle and Cunningham is useful: it shows how different assumptions about metabolically active tissue change the result.

Medical disclaimer: TDEE is an educational maintenance estimate for adults. It is not a calorie, deficit, weight-gain or treatment prescription.
Actual expenditure can vary widely. When body-fat percentage is provided, the tool compares lean-mass-based models before applying the chosen activity factor.
TDEE = BMR from Mifflin-St Jeor × activity factor.
