What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn each day, accounting for your activity level. It is calculated by multiplying your BMR by an activity factor. Knowing your TDEE helps you set appropriate calorie goals for weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain.

שאלות נפוצות

How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

A deficit of 500 calories per day typically leads to about 0.5 kg (1 lb) of weight loss per week. Avoid going below 1200 kcal/day for women or 1500 kcal/day for men without medical supervision.

How accurate is the TDEE calculation?

TDEE estimates have a margin of error of about 10–15%. Use it as a starting point and adjust based on real-world results over 2–3 weeks.

Does muscle mass affect TDEE?

Yes. Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue. Increasing muscle mass through strength training raises your BMR and therefore your TDEE.
