Frequently Asked Questions – TDEE Calculator

What is TDEE and why is it important?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total calories your body burns in a day including BMR and physical activity. It’s crucial for weight management, nutrition planning, and achieving fitness goals.

What’s the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is calories burned at rest for basic bodily functions. TDEE includes BMR plus calories burned through physical activity and exercise.

How do I choose the right activity level?

Select based on weekly exercise: Sedentary (desk job, no exercise), Lightly active (1-3 days light exercise), Moderately active (3-5 days moderate), Very active (6-7 days hard exercise), Extremely active (intense daily exercise/physical job).

How accurate is the TDEE calculation?

Our calculator uses the scientifically validated Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is accurate for most people. However, individual metabolism can vary, so use results as a starting point and adjust based on real-world results.

How should I use TDEE for weight management?

For weight loss, eat 500-750 calories below TDEE. For weight gain, eat 300-500 calories above TDEE. For maintenance, eat at your TDEE level. Monitor progress and adjust as needed.
