Frequently Asked Questions
What is TDEE? +
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including physical activity and basic bodily functions. It’s calculated by multiplying your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) by an activity factor.
How accurate is this calculator? +
This calculator provides a good estimate based on established formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor Equation). However, individual variations may exist due to genetics, muscle mass, and other factors. Use it as a starting point and adjust based on your results.
How should I use my TDEE for weight loss? +
For weight loss, consume 300-500 calories less than your TDEE. This should result in a gradual weight loss of 0.5-1kg per week. Drastic calorie reduction is not recommended as it can lead to muscle loss and metabolic adaptation.
Why does my TDEE change over time? +
Your TDEE can change due to factors like weight loss/gain, changes in activity levels, aging, and alterations in body composition. It’s good to recalculate your TDEE every few months or after significant weight changes.
