FAQ
What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure โ an estimate of the calories you burn per day, based on your basal metabolism plus your activity level.
Will I definitely lose weight if I eat exactly this many calories?
No, it's only an estimate. Individual results vary, so it's best used as a starting point and adjusted based on your actual results.
How do I use this for weight loss?
Eating below your TDEE is generally associated with weight loss. A common approach is a 300-500 kcal deficit, but adjust to a level that's sustainable for you.
What about bulking to build muscle?
You'd want to eat above your TDEE. A large surplus tends to add more body fat, so use this as a reference point for a moderate, gradual bulk.
How do I choose my activity level?
Pick whichever matches your typical routine โ "Sedentary" if you rarely exercise, "Light exercise" for a few light sessions a week, and so on.
