Understanding Your Daily Calorie Needs
Your daily calorie requirement is not just a single number; it's influenced by your body's basic needs (BMR) and your daily activities. This calculator determines your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which is a comprehensive estimate of the calories you burn per day. By understanding your TDEE, you can set informed goals for your calorie intake, whether you aim to lose, maintain, or gain weight.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body burns at rest. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, which includes your BMR plus the calories burned during physical activity. TDEE is a more accurate measure for determining your daily calorie needs for weight management.
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
A common recommendation for sustainable weight loss is to consume about 500 calories less than your TDEE per day. This creates a calorie deficit that typically results in losing about 1 pound (0.45 kg) per week. This calculator provides estimates for different weight loss goals.
How accurate is this calorie calculator?
This calculator provides a good estimate of your daily calorie needs based on the well-regarded Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR and standard activity multipliers. However, individual metabolisms can vary. It's best to use this as a starting point and adjust your calorie intake based on your personal results.
