Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including:

• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Calories burned at rest just to maintain basic body functions
• Physical Activity: Calories burned through exercise and daily movement
• Thermic Effect of Food: Calories burned digesting and processing food
• Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis: Calories burned through fidgeting, maintaining posture, etc.

How to Use Your TDEE

Your TDEE is a key number for managing your weight:

• To maintain weight: Consume calories equal to your TDEE
• To lose weight: Consume fewer calories than your TDEE (typically 500 less for 1lb/week)
• To gain weight: Consume more calories than your TDEE (typically 500 more for 1lb/week)
