1. What is TDEE for Women?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) represents the total number of calories you burn in a day. For women looking to lose weight, we calculate a modified TDEE that creates a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day, which typically results in about 0.5kg of weight loss per week.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

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

Where:

\( weight \) — Body weight in kilograms (kg)
\( height \) — Height in centimeters (cm)
\( age \) — Age in years
\( activity\ factor \) — Multiplier based on physical activity level
\( -500 \) — Calorie deficit for weight loss

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

3. Importance of TDEE Calculation

Details: Accurate TDEE calculation is crucial for effective weight management. It helps determine the appropriate calorie intake for sustainable weight loss while maintaining energy levels and preserving muscle mass.

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 typical weekly exercise routine. Use accurate measurements for best results.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why subtract 500 calories?
A: A 500-calorie daily deficit typically results in about 0.5kg of weight loss per week, which is considered a safe and sustainable rate.

Q2: What if I want to lose weight faster?
A: While faster weight loss might be tempting, deficits larger than 500-750 calories per day are not recommended as they can lead to muscle loss and metabolic adaptation.

Q3: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight loss (5+ kg) as your calorie needs will decrease with weight loss.

Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: This provides an estimate. Individual variations in metabolism, body composition, and other factors can affect actual calorie needs.

Q5: Should I eat exactly this number of calories?
A: Use this as a starting point and adjust based on your progress, energy levels, and how your body responds over 2-3 weeks.
