TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It's the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including your basal metabolism plus energy spent on physical activities.

How are daily calories calculated?

Daily calories are calculated using your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) based on sex, age and weight, multiplied by a physical activity factor ranging from sedentary to very active.

How many calories do I need to lose weight?

For healthy weight loss, a deficit of 300-500 calories below your TDEE is generally recommended. This allows for approximately 0.5kg (1lb) loss per week.
