1. What is TDEE Calculation for Asian Females?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) represents the total number of calories your body burns in a day. This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation specifically calibrated for Asian females to provide an accurate estimate of daily caloric needs based on weight, height, age, and activity level.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation with activity multiplier:

\[ TDEE = BMR \times Activity\ Multiplier \] \[ BMR = 10 \times weight\ (kg) + 6.25 \times height\ (cm) - 5 \times age\ (years) - 161 \]

Where:

\( BMR \) — Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned at rest)
\( Activity\ Multiplier \) — Sedentary: 1.2, Light: 1.375, Moderate: 1.55, Active: 1.725, Very Active: 1.9
\( weight \) — Body weight in kilograms
\( height \) — Height in centimeters
\( age \) — Age in years

Explanation: The equation calculates your basal metabolic rate first, then multiplies by your activity level to determine total daily energy expenditure.

3. Importance of TDEE Calculation

Details: Accurate TDEE estimation is crucial for weight management, whether your goal is weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain. It helps determine appropriate calorie intake for your specific needs and activity level.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current weight in kg, height in cm, age in years, and select your activity level. Be honest about your activity level for the most accurate results. All values must be valid positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use Mifflin-St Jeor for Asian females?
A: The Mifflin-St Jeor equation has been validated as one of the most accurate equations for estimating BMR in various populations, including Asian females.

Q2: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or whenever your weight changes significantly, or if your activity level changes substantially.

Q3: What if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
A: This calculator is not designed for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate calorie recommendations.

Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: Individual variations in metabolism, muscle mass, and other factors can affect accuracy. This provides an estimate that should be adjusted based on actual results.

Q5: How should I use my TDEE for weight loss?
A: For weight loss, consume 300-500 calories less than your TDEE. For weight gain, consume 300-500 calories more than your TDEE.
