1. What is TDEE For Women Weight Loss?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) represents the total number of calories your body burns in a day. For weight loss in women, we subtract 500 calories from the maintenance TDEE to create a calorie deficit for sustainable weight loss of about 0.5kg per week.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the TDEE equation for women weight loss:

\[ TDEE = (10 \times weight + 6.25 \times height - 5 \times age - 161) \times activity\ factor - 500 \]

Where:

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

Explanation: The equation first calculates BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), then multiplies by activity level to get maintenance calories, and finally subtracts 500 calories for weight loss.

3. Importance of TDEE Calculation

Details: Accurate TDEE calculation is crucial for effective weight management. It helps create an appropriate calorie deficit for sustainable weight loss without compromising health or metabolism.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current weight in kg, height in cm, age in years, and select your activity level based on your weekly exercise routine. All values must be valid positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why subtract 500 calories for weight loss?
A: A 500-calorie daily deficit creates approximately 3500 calories weekly deficit, which equals about 0.5kg of fat loss per week - a safe and sustainable rate.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: While estimates provide a good starting point, individual metabolism varies. Monitor your progress and adjust as needed based on actual results.

Q3: Should I eat below 1200 calories?
A: Women should generally not consume fewer than 1200 calories daily without medical supervision to ensure adequate nutrient intake.

Q4: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight loss (5+ kg) as your metabolic needs change with weight loss.

Q5: What if I'm not losing weight at this calorie level?
A: Consider factors like accurate portion tracking, hidden calories, medical conditions, or consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
