TDEE

The total calories a person burns in a day.

What is TDEE?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is an estimate of the total number of calories a person burns in a day, combining their resting metabolism with activity, digestion, and exercise. It is used to guide eating for weight loss, maintenance, or gain by comparing intake against this number. TDEE is usually estimated from basal metabolic rate multiplied by an activity factor and is an approximation rather than an exact figure.
