Decoding Your Metabolism
Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) represents the total number of calories your body burns in a 24-hour period. It combines your Basal Metabolic Rate (the energy needed just to stay alive) with the calories you burn through daily movement and exercise.
How to Use Your Numbers
- To Lose Weight (Cut): Aim for a caloric deficit by consuming 300-500 calories less than your maintenance level.
- To Maintain Weight: Eat exactly at your calculated maintenance (TDEE) level to keep your scale steady.
- To Gain Muscle (Bulk): Create a caloric surplus by adding 200-500 calories above your maintenance level.
