Frequently Asked Questions

What is TDEE?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day. It includes your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) plus calories burned through physical activity and digestion.

How accurate is the TDEE Calculator?

Our calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is considered the most accurate formula for calculating BMR. However, results are estimates and may vary based on individual factors.

How should I adjust my calories for weight loss?

For sustainable weight loss, we recommend a moderate caloric deficit of 500 calories below your TDEE. This typically results in about 1 pound of weight loss per week.

What are macros?

Macros (macronutrients) are the three main nutrients your body needs in large quantities: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Our calculator provides recommended macro splits based on your goals.
