What Is Daily Calorie Need (TDEE)?
Your daily calorie need (TDEE — Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day, calculated by adding your daily activity level to your basal metabolic rate. This value is the starting point for your weight-loss, maintenance or weight-gain goals.
Why Is Choosing Your Activity Level Correctly Critical?
Most people tend to pick a higher activity level than is actually the case. This inflates the calculated calorie need and can stall the weight-loss process. Assessing your activity level honestly is the first step in building an accurate nutrition plan.
What Should You Do With Your TDEE Result?
Depending on your goal (losing, maintaining or gaining weight) you can set your daily intake target by applying a calorie deficit or surplus to your TDEE. For sustainable and healthy results, however, backing these figures with a nutrition and training program benefits both your performance and your long-term outcomes.
