#1 fox7771 on 26 Sep 24Hi everyone! I understand that it depends on different factors like age, weight, height and physical activity. I have also heard about the concept of TDEE - it is the total number of calories the body burns in a day, including basic functions like breathing and digesting food. I am wondering how exactly can I calculate my TDEE and how can it help with weight management? For example, if I want to lose some weight, should I just reduce calories from this value? It would be great to know if anyone can share their methods or suggest some calculators for calculating TDEE. Thanks! -
#2 orion43 on 26 Sep 24Hi! Yes, you are right - TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is really important for weight management. It helps you understand how many calories you burn during the day and gives you a basis for creating a meal plan. To calculate your TDEE, I recommend using the tdee calculator. This calculator takes into account your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level to give you a personalized number. If you want to lose weight, I recommend cutting calories by 10-20% of your TDEE. But it is important to remember that cutting calories too much can slow down your metabolism. It is best to do it gradually and combine it with exercise. -
#3 denny212 on 26 Sep 24Hi everyone! I completely agree with the previous answer. I also used the TDEE calculator when I wanted to understand how many calories I needed to maintain my weight. It turned out that I was greatly underestimating my activity, and this affected my progress in training. Once I adjusted my diet based on my TDEE, I began to notice improvements in my results. It is important not only to reduce calories, but also to monitor the quality of the food you consume. After all, it is important to get the necessary micronutrients and nutrients, and not just cut calories.
