TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day to maintain basic functions and support everyday activities. It combines your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the energy used at rest for essential functions like breathing and circulation, with additional calories burned through physical activity, digestion, and other daily movements. TDEE varies based on factors like age, sex, weight, activity level, and muscle mass. Understanding TDEE helps you manage weight, whether aiming to maintain, lose, or gain weight, by aligning your food intake with the calories your body needs.
