TDEE stands for total daily energy expenditure. It is the total energy that a person uses in a day. TDEE is hard to measure accurately and varies day by day. It is estimated using factors such as a person's basal metabolic rate (BMR) and activity level.
The calculation begins with an estimation of basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is based on the use of equations that have been developed for this specific purpose. This includes physical characteristics such as age, gender, height, and weight.
Once BMR is calculated, it is typically multiplied by an activity level factor, which is based on factors such as exercise and whether a person has a sedentary or very active job.
Understanding the exact amount of calories your body needs can help you balance your nutrition accordingly and plays a major role in helping you achieve your fitness goals - both fat loss and muscle gain require a calorie-controlled diet.
Eating slightly fewer calories than you burn each day (calorie deficit) promotes weight loss, eating more than you burn leads to weight gain (calorie surplus), and eating the exact amount will help you maintain your weight.
