1. What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) represents the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including basal metabolic rate and physical activity. For weight loss, a deficit of 500 kcal/day is typically recommended.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the TDEE equation adjusted for 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 activity level
\( 500 \) — Calorie deficit for weight loss

Explanation: The equation calculates your maintenance calories and subtracts 500 kcal to create a weight loss deficit of approximately 0.5 kg per week.

3. Importance of TDEE Calculation for Weight Loss

Details: Accurate TDEE calculation is crucial for effective weight management. Creating a moderate calorie deficit helps achieve sustainable weight loss while maintaining muscle mass and energy levels.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current weight in kg, height in cm, age in years, and select your activity level. Use accurate measurements for best results. All values must be valid (weight > 0, height > 0, age between 1-120).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why subtract 500 calories for weight loss?
A: A 500 kcal daily deficit creates approximately 3500 kcal weekly deficit, which typically results in about 0.5 kg of fat loss per week.

Q2: What if I'm not losing weight with this calculation?
A: Individual metabolism varies. You may need to adjust your calorie intake based on your progress and consult with a nutritionist.

Q3: Should I eat back exercise calories?
A: The activity factor already accounts for your exercise level. Do not eat back calories burned during exercise when following this calculation.

Q4: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight changes (5+ kg) to adjust for your new metabolic needs.

Q5: Is this calculation suitable for everyone?
A: While generally accurate for most adults, individuals with specific medical conditions or athletes may require personalized calculations.
