From BMR to TDEE
TDEE multiplies basal calories by an activity factor to approximate average daily needs including movement.
Choosing activity level
Be honest about weekly training and job activity. Overestimating activity is a common source of error.
Frequently asked questions

Can I use TDEE for cutting?
