FAQ

What is TDEE?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total calories you burn per day, including BMR, thermic effect of food, and physical activity. It's the foundation of weight management.

TDEE vs BMR: what's the difference?

BMR is the minimum calories to sustain life at rest. TDEE = BMR × activity factor. E.g., BMR=1600, activity 1.55 → TDEE=2480 kcal.

How large a calorie deficit for weight loss?

~7,700 kcal deficit = 1 kg fat loss. A 300-500 kcal daily deficit is recommended for healthy, sustainable weight loss of 0.3-0.5 kg/week.

How to choose activity level?

Sedentary (little/no exercise) ×1.2, Light (1-3 days/week) ×1.375, Moderate (3-5 days/week) ×1.55, Very active (6-7 days/week) ×1.725, Extra active (athlete) ×1.9.
