What is TDEE?

TDEE = BMR × Activity Multiplier. Eating below TDEE leads to weight loss, above leads to weight gain.

How TDEE is Calculated

TDEE combines your BMR with an activity multiplier. First, we calculate BMR using Mifflin-St Jeor, then multiply by your activity level.

The 500 Calorie Rule

"A deficit of 500 cal/day = ~0.5 kg weight loss per week."

The Formula

TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor

Sedentary: ×1.2 | Light: ×1.375 | Moderate: ×1.55

Very Active: ×1.725 | Extreme: ×1.9
