What Is TDEE? Total Daily Energy Expenditure Explained

TDEE — Total Daily Energy Expenditure — is the total number of calories your body burns in a typical 24-hour period. It combines your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR, the calories burned at rest) with all physical activity. TDEE is the critical foundation for any nutrition plan: eating above TDEE causes weight gain, eating below causes weight loss, and eating at TDEE maintains your current weight.
