Frequently Asked Questions

Why is TDEE only an estimate?

Activity multipliers are averages. Real calorie burn varies by steps, training, job, body size, and tracking accuracy.

How should I use TDEE for fat loss?

A common starting point is TDEE minus 300-600 calories per day, then adjust using weekly progress.
