FAQ

Common questions about this topic

What does TDEE mean?

TDEE stands for total daily energy expenditure. It is your estimated daily calorie burn, including activity and normal movement.

Why is TDEE useful?

It gives you a maintenance baseline, which makes it easier to set a sensible deficit or surplus for your goal.

How often should I recalculate TDEE?

Recalculate when body weight, training volume, or activity level changes materially, or when the scale trend stops matching the plan.
