What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure
TDEE represents the total calories burned in a day. It's your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) plus calories burned through daily activities and exercise.
TDEE Components
- • Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): 60-70% - Minimum energy for vital functions
- • Activity Metabolism: 15-30% - Energy burned through exercise and daily activities
- • Thermic Effect of Food: 8-10% - Energy needed for digestion and absorption
- • Non-Exercise Activity: 15-20% - Energy burned through unconscious movements
How to Use
- • Weight Loss: Consume 300-500kcal less than TDEE
- • Weight Maintenance: Consume same as TDEE
- • Weight Gain: Consume 300-500kcal more than TDEE
- • Gradual adjustments are healthier than drastic changes
