Understanding TDEE

What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including basic functions, daily activities, and exercise.

Components of TDEE

  • Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
  • Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)
  • Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT)
  • Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)

Using TDEE for Goals

  • Weight loss: Create a caloric deficit below your TDEE
  • Weight gain: Consume more calories than your TDEE
  • Maintenance: Match your calorie intake to your TDEE
