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.
