What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total calories you burn per day, including basal metabolism and physical activity.

How do activity levels affect calories?

Activity multipliers range from 1.2 (sedentary) to 1.9 (very active). A more active lifestyle burns significantly more calories.

How many calories to lose weight?

A deficit of 500 calories/day typically results in about 1 pound of weight loss per week. Never go below 1200 (women) or 1500 (men) calories.

Is this calculator accurate?

It provides a good estimate using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, but individual metabolism varies. Adjust based on your actual results over time.
