Frequently Asked Questions

What is TDEE?

TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the total calories your body burns in a day, including physical activity.

How do I use my TDEE to lose weight?

To lose weight, eat 300–500 calories below your TDEE per day. This creates a sustainable deficit without excessive muscle loss.

What formula does this calculator use?

BMR is calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then multiplied by an activity multiplier to get TDEE.

How often should I recalculate my TDEE?

Recalculate every 4–6 weeks or when your weight changes by more than 5kg, as your calorie needs change with body composition.
