1. What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) represents the total number of calories you burn in a day, including basal metabolic rate (BMR) and calories burned through physical activity. This calculator is specifically calibrated for black women.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

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

\[ TDEE = (10 \times weight + 6.25 \times height - 5 \times age - 161) \times activity\ factor \]

Where:

\( weight \) — Body weight in kilograms (kg)
\( height \) — Height in centimeters (cm)
\( age \) — Age in years
\( activity\ factor \) — Multiplier based on activity level

Explanation: The equation calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) first, then multiplies it by your activity level to estimate total daily calorie expenditure.

3. Importance of TDEE Calculation

Details: Knowing your TDEE is essential for weight management. To lose weight, consume fewer calories than your TDEE; to gain weight, consume more. This calculator is specifically calibrated for black women's metabolic characteristics.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your 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.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is this calculator specific to black women?
A: Research shows metabolic differences between ethnic groups. This calculator uses equations specifically validated for black women's physiology.

Q2: How accurate is the TDEE calculation?
A: The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is considered one of the most accurate for estimating BMR, and when combined with appropriate activity multipliers, provides a good TDEE estimate for most people.

Q3: Should I eat exactly at my TDEE?
A: If weight maintenance is your goal, yes. For weight loss, create a deficit of 300-500 calories; for weight gain, add 300-500 calories to your TDEE.

Q4: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: Recalculate whenever your weight changes significantly (5+ kg) or your activity level changes substantially.

Q5: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: Individual variations in metabolism, hormonal factors, and medical conditions can affect actual energy expenditure. Use this as a starting point and adjust based on results.
