Understanding TDEE:
Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is an estimate of how many calories you burn per day, including your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and the calories expended during physical activity.
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic, life-sustaining functions when at rest. This includes breathing, circulation, nutrient processing, and cell production.
Understanding your TDEE can help you determine your daily caloric intake goals for maintaining, losing, or gaining weight. To lose weight, a common recommendation is to consume 500 calories less than your TDEE per day to aim for approximately 1 pound of weight loss per week, as 3500 calories equate to roughly 1 pound of fat.
It’s important to remember that these are estimates. Individual metabolic rates can vary, and factors like body composition, genetics, and health conditions also play a role. Always consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized advice on nutrition and weight management.
