What TDEE is and how to use it

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is roughly how many calories you burn per day. It starts from your BMR— the energy you'd burn at complete rest, here via the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — multiplied by an activity factor. Eat around your TDEE to maintain weight; a deficit of ~500 kcal/day is a common target for losing about 0.45 kg (1 lb) per week, and a similar surplus for lean gains. These are estimates, not medical advice, and everything runs in your browser.
