Frequently Asked Questions
What is BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain basic functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production.
What is TDEE?
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total calories you burn per day, including BMR plus calories burned through activity and exercise.
How do I choose my activity level?
Select the activity level that best matches your daily routine: sedentary (little exercise), lightly active (light exercise 1-3 days/week), moderately active (moderate exercise 3-5 days/week), very active (hard exercise 6-7 days/week), or extra active (very hard exercise and physical job).
Are these calculations accurate?
The calculator provides estimates based on standard formulas. Individual results may vary based on metabolism, muscle mass, and other factors. Consult healthcare professionals for personalized advice.
