About MyTDEE
Empowering your fitness journey with scientific precision and uncompromising privacy.
Our Story & Mission
Hello! I am Shourov founded MyTDEE with a single goal: to cut through the noise of the fitness industry. As a fitness enthusiast, I realized that most calculators online were either too simple or flooded with ads and irrelevant information.
I wanted to build a tool that doesn't just give you a number but explains the why and how behind it. MyTDEE is the result of countless hours of research into metabolic science, aiming to provide you with the most detailed body analytics available for free.
Why Trust MyTDEE?
Zero-Data Retention Policy
In an era where data privacy is rare, we stand apart. Unlike many health tools that process data on remote servers (risking potential leaks), MyTDEE operates 100% Client-Side.
Technical Transparency: We utilize advanced Vanilla JavaScript architecture. This means when you enter your Age, Gender, Weight, Height, Activity Level, Body Fat, the calculation happens locally on your specific device. No personal health data is ever transmitted to, stored on, or seen by our servers. Your health metrics remain exclusively yours.
Unmatched Accuracy
We believe in the power of data. While others rely on a single estimate, we aggregate data from 13+ distinct scientific models to provide a complete physiological profile.
Backed by Science
Our algorithms are grounded in peer-reviewed research. We provide transparency on every formula we use so you can verify the accuracy yourself.
