About TDEE and Calorie Needs
Understanding TDEE
- BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): Calories your body burns at rest to maintain basic functions
- TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure): BMR plus calories burned through activity and exercise
- Activity Multiplier: Factor that accounts for your daily activity level and exercise
- Calorie Deficit: Eating less than TDEE to lose weight (500 cal deficit = 1 lb/week loss)
- Calorie Surplus: Eating more than TDEE to gain weight (500 cal surplus = 1 lb/week gain)
Tips for Success
- Track your food intake consistently for 2-3 weeks before adjusting calories
- Weigh yourself weekly at the same time (morning, after bathroom, before eating)
- Adjust calories based on actual results, not just calculations
- Prioritize protein intake (1g per lb of body weight) to maintain muscle
- Stay patient - healthy weight change takes time and consistency
