TDEE Health Tips
Understanding TDEE
Total Daily Energy Expenditure is the total number of calories you burn per day, including all activities and bodily functions.
TDEE Components
- BMR (60-70%): Calories burned at rest
- Physical Activity (20-30%): Exercise and movement
- Thermic Effect of Food (10%): Digestion
- NEAT (5-15%): Non-exercise activity
Using Your TDEE
- Maintenance: Eat your TDEE calories
- Weight Loss: Eat 500 calories below TDEE
- Weight Gain: Eat 500 calories above TDEE
- Track progress weekly and adjust as needed
Important Note
TDEE varies daily based on activity. Use this as a starting point and adjust based on your real-world results.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Never pursue a calorie deficit during pregnancy. Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals have increased calorie and nutrient needs. Always consult a healthcare provider for dietary guidance during these periods.
