Frequently asked questions
What is TDEE?
Total daily energy expenditure estimates the calories used by resting metabolism, movement, exercise, and digestion in a day.
How should I choose an activity level?
Choose the level that reflects your average week, not your most active day. If uncertain, start conservatively and compare the estimate with weight trends.
Can I use TDEE for weight goals?
TDEE can be a starting point for a calorie target, but actual intake should be adjusted gradually using measured progress.
Why can two people with the same size have different TDEE?
Body composition, training, non-exercise movement, age, and metabolic differences all affect energy use.
