Have you ever wondered why some people can eat more than others without gaining weight? Or why your energy needs change with your lifestyle? Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) holds the key to these questions. Let's dive into the fascinating science behind how your body uses energy and how understanding your TDEE can help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
TDEE calculators provide an estimate with ±10% accuracy. Your actual energy needs may vary based on factors like genetics, muscle mass, hormones, and daily activity variations. Use the calculator's result as a starting point and adjust based on your weight changes over 2-3 weeks.
For weight loss, create a deficit of 500-1000 calories per day for a loss of 0.5-1kg (1-2lbs) per week. For weight gain, add 300-500 calories for lean muscle gain. Start with smaller adjustments and monitor your progress, making changes based on your results. Remember that faster isn't always better - sustainable changes are key.
Your TDEE can change due to several factors: metabolic adaptation during weight loss, changes in muscle mass, age-related metabolic slowdown, hormonal changes, stress levels, sleep quality, and seasonal variations in activity. Regular recalculation and adjustment of your calorie targets helps maintain progress toward your goals.
