TDEE Calculator for CrossFit — Daily Calorie Needs

Calculate your TDEE for CrossFit training. Get calorie and macro targets to fuel WODs, strength sessions, and recovery.

CrossFit combines high-intensity cardio with strength training, burning 500–800 calories per session. The varied movements and intensity mean your body continues burning calories after the workout (EPOC effect). Most CrossFitters should select "Active" or "Very Active" and prioritize carbs and protein for recovery.

If you do CrossFit 1–3 times per week, choose "Light" or "Moderate." For 4–6 sessions per week, choose "Active." If you train daily or have a physical job on top of CrossFit, choose "Very Active." When in doubt, go one level lower.

Yes. The high-intensity glycolytic nature of WODs demands adequate carbohydrate intake. Most CrossFitters do well with 3–5g of carbs per kg of bodyweight. Low-carb diets can impair CrossFit performance significantly.
