What this means

TDEE is the total number of calories you burn in a day: your resting metabolism (BMR) multiplied by an activity factor. Eating at your TDEE keeps weight stable; a sustained deficit drives fat loss and a surplus supports muscle gain.

Recommendations

  • For fat loss, aim for a 10–20% deficit — roughly 0.25–0.5 kg (0.5–1 lb) per week.
  • For lean muscle gain, a 5–15% surplus paired with progressive resistance training works best.
  • Recalculate every 4–6 weeks or after ~3–4 kg of weight change — TDEE moves as you do.

Watch out

  • Activity multipliers are estimates. Track your weight for 2–3 weeks and adjust intake to match reality.
  • Deficits below your BMR are rarely necessary and can be hard to sustain.
