Frequently Asked Questions
What is TDEE?▼
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn per day including exercise. It's your BMR multiplied by an activity factor.
How do I lose weight with calories?▼
To lose ~1 lb/week, eat 500 calories below your TDEE. To lose ~2 lbs/week, eat 1000 below. Never go below 1200 calories (women) or 1500 (men) without medical supervision.
What is BMR?▼
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs at complete rest — just to keep organs functioning, breathing, and maintaining body temperature.
