Understanding Your Caloric Needs
What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production while at rest.
What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is your BMR multiplied by an activity factor. This represents the total calories you burn in a day including exercise and daily activities.
Activity Levels
- Sedentary: Little to no 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
- Extremely Active: Very hard exercise, physical job

- • To gain weight: Eat 300-500 calories above your TDEE
- • To maintain weight: Eat close to your TDEE
