healthsciencecalculator.get_tdee.get_tdee(bmr: float, activity_level: str) → float[source]

Calculate the Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) based on BMR and activity level.

Parameters:

  • bmr (float) – The Basal Metabolic Rate (must be positive).

  • activity_level (str) – The activity level (allowed values: ‘sedentary’, ‘lightly active’, ‘moderately active’, ‘very active’, ‘extra active’).

Returns:

The calculated TDEE (kcal/day).

Return type:

float

Example

>>> get_tdee(bmr = 1500.0, activity_level = 'sedentary')
1800.0
Raises:

ValueError – If bmr <= 0 or activity_level is not recognized.

Notes

Sample multipliers (you may choose different ones if needed):

  • sedentary: 1.2

  • lightly active: 1.375

  • moderately active: 1.55

  • very active: 1.725

  • extra active: 1.9
