What is TDEE?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including your basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and the thermic effect of food. It's essential for planning your diet.

TDEE Components

TDEE consists of: BMR (60-70%), which are calories at rest; physical activity (20-30%), from walking to exercise; and TEF (10%), which is the energy to digest food.

How to use your TDEE?

To lose weight, consume 500 kcal less than your TDEE (moderate deficit). To gain weight, consume 500 kcal more. To maintain, consume close to your TDEE. Adjust based on your results every 2-4 weeks.
