What Is TDEE?

TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It represents the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including rest, movement, exercise, and daily activity.

BMR vs TDEE

BMR is the number of calories your body burns at rest. TDEE includes BMR plus your daily movement and exercise. That is why TDEE is usually higher than BMR.

Activity Level Guide

  • Sedentary: little movement, desk lifestyle
  • Light: light exercise 1–3 times per week
  • Moderate: regular training 3–5 times per week
  • High: frequent training or active lifestyle
  • Very active: hard training or physical job

How to Use TDEE

Use your TDEE as a starting point:

  • eat around TDEE to maintain weight
  • eat slightly below TDEE to lose weight
  • eat slightly above TDEE to gain weight
