Frequently Asked Questions About TDEE

What is TDEE?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day. It includes your BMR (calories burned at rest) plus calories burned through physical activity, exercise, and digesting food. This is your maintenance calorie level.

How is TDEE calculated?

TDEE is calculated by first determining your BMR using formulas like Mifflin-St Jeor, then multiplying by an activity factor based on your lifestyle. Activity factors range from 1.2 (sedentary) to 1.9 (extremely active).

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain vital functions like breathing and circulation. TDEE is BMR plus all additional calories burned through daily activities and exercise.

How do I use TDEE for weight loss?

To lose weight, eat fewer calories than your TDEE. A deficit of 500 calories per day typically results in about 0.5 kg (1 lb) of weight loss per week. Avoid extreme deficits below 1200 calories (women) or 1500 calories (men).

Which TDEE formula is most accurate?

The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is generally considered most accurate for most people. However, all formulas are estimates. For best results, track your weight for 2-3 weeks and adjust your calorie intake based on actual results.
