How often should I recalculate my TDEE?

You should recalculate your TDEE every time your weight changes by more than 5-10 lbs, or if your activity level changes significantly.

Is TDEE 100% accurate?

No calculator can be 100% accurate because factors like genetics, hormones, and body composition varies. However, TDEE provides a very strong baseline for most people.

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is the energy your body needs to survive at complete rest. TDEE is your BMR plus the energy needed for physical activity, digestion, and other daily functions.

This is based on the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is widely considered the most accurate way to estimate BMR/TDEE.

What is Everything You Need to Know About TDEE?

TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It is the total number of calories you burn daily. It's calculated by first estimating your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and then multiplying that value by an activity multiplier. Since your BMR represents how many calories your body burns when at rest, it's necessary to adjust the numbers upwards based on how much you move during the day.
