The Optavia TEE Calculator helps to estimate your Total Energy Expenditure (TEE), which is the number of calories you need to burn daily based on activity level, age, weight, and height. This is very useful for optimizing weight loss or maintenance on the Optavia 5&1 Plan or other Optavia programs.
How to Calculate TEE for Optavia
Formula Used:
The Mifflin-St. Jeor Equation (most accurate for TEE) is commonly used:
For Men:
TEE=(10×weight in kg)+(6.25×height in cm)−(5×age in years)+5TEE=(10×weight in kg)+(6.25×height in cm)−(5×age in years)+5
For Women:
TEE=(10×weight in kg)+(6.25×height in cm)−(5×age in years)−161TEE=(10×weight in kg)+(6.25×height in cm)−(5×age in years)−161
Adjust for Activity Level
Activity Level Multipliers
| Activity Level | Multiplier | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sedentary | × 1.2 | Little/no exercise (desk job) |
| Lightly Active | × 1.375 | Light exercise 1-3 days/week |
| Moderately Active | × 1.55 | Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week |
| Very Active | × 1.725 | Hard exercise 6-7 days/week |
| Extremely Active | × 1.9 | Athlete or heavy physical job |
Example Calculation:
Female, 35 years, 70 kg, 165 cm, Lightly Active
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate):
(10×70)+(6.25×165)−(5×35)−161=1,412 kcal/day(10×70)+(6.25×165)−(5×35)−161=1,412 kcal/day
TEE (Total Energy Expenditure):
1,412×1.375=1,941 kcal/day1,412×1.375=1,941 kcal/day
Optavia Calorie Target:
- For weight loss, Optavia typically suggests 1,100–1,500 kcal/day (via 5&1 Plan).
- For maintenance, aim closer to TEE (e.g., ~1,900 kcal in this case).
How to Use the Optavia TEE Calculator
Here we are see the best process of use the Optavia TEE Calculator.
- Measure Your Stats:
o Weight (kg or lbs)
o Height (cm or inches)
o Age
o Gender
o Activity Level - Calculate BMR (using Mifflin-St. Jeor).
- Multiply by Activity Factor to get TEE.
- Compare with Optavia’s Plan:
o Weight Loss: Eat ~1,200 kcal/day (5 Optavia Fuelings + 1 Lean & Green Meal).
Why Optavia TEE Calculator is Important?
Relevant Calorie Targets
- Factors in your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), activity level, and goals.
- Example: A 35-year-old woman burns 1,800 calories/day at rest. Add exercise, and her TEE jumps to 2,300.
Supports Optavia’s Fuelings
- Syncs with Optavia’s pre-portioned meals (Fuelings) to simplify tracking.
Prevents Overeating or Undereating
- A study found personalized calorie plans improve weight loss success by 40% compared to generic diets.
FAQs on Optavia TEE Calculator
Why is TEE important for Optavia?
TEE (Total Energy Expenditure) is critically important for Optavia (and any structured weight loss or health program) because it helps to resolve how many calories a person burns in a day, which is the main foundation for creating effective and safe meal plans.
How does Optavia’s 5&1 Plan compare to TEE?
The 5&1 Plan provides ~1,100–1,200 kcal/day, which is a lack in most people (promoting weight loss).
Can I adjust Optavia based on my TEE?
Absolutely! When it comes to weight loss with Optavia, calculating your Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) can make a big difference, especially if progress starts to stall. One practical way to get things moving again is by increasing your physical activity in your daily lifestyle, which naturally raises your TEE and helps burn more calories.
