What is TDEE?
Total daily energy expenditure is the energy you use in a day, including all activity.
How is TDEE different from BMR?
BMR is energy used at rest. TDEE also includes workouts, steps, and everyday movement.
Why should I choose my activity level carefully?
Overestimating activity can overestimate your calorie target and make progress harder.
How do I create a deficit from TDEE?
Reduce your estimated TDEE by a moderate amount, often around 300–500 kcal per day.
Why might my weight not change despite a deficit?
Common reasons include logging inaccuracies, water retention, or an inaccurate activity estimate.
Why track my actual calorie intake?
Comparing TDEE with your real food intake shows whether you are in a deficit or surplus.
How can I see whether my intake matches my TDEE?
Progress depends on what you actually consume. Automatic calorie tracking helps you compare your food with your estimated needs without complex calculations.
