Calorie Calculator FAQ
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR is the calories your body burns at complete rest. TDEE adds your daily activity, so it is the total you burn in a day.
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
A common approach is about 300 to 500 calories below your TDEE per day. Speak to a health professional for personal advice.
How accurate is a calorie calculator?
It gives an estimate based on standard formulas. Your real needs can vary, so track your progress and adjust.
