Frequently Asked Questions
What is TDEE and how is it different from BMR?
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including activity. BMR is just the calories burned at rest; TDEE multiplies BMR by an activity factor of 1.2 to 1.9.
How accurate is this TDEE estimate?
It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is accurate to within roughly 10 percent for most people, but individual metabolism varies. Track your actual weight over a few weeks and adjust your intake accordingly.
Should I use TDEE to plan a medical diet?

Which activity level should I choose?
Pick the level that matches your honest weekly exercise. Most desk workers fall under sedentary or lightly active; when unsure, choose the lower level and refine after tracking results.
