Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TDEE?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories your body burns daily, including basal metabolism, digestion, and physical activity.

How do I use TDEE for weight loss?

To lose weight, eat 300-500 calories below your TDEE. To gain weight, eat 300-500 calories above TDEE. A 500-calorie deficit creates about 1 lb per week of weight loss.

What's the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is calories burned at rest. TDEE is total calories burned daily including exercise and daily activities. TDEE is always higher than BMR.
