1. What is the Calories Per Week Calculation?

The Calories Per Week calculation estimates your total weekly calorie needs based on your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). This helps in meal planning and weight management strategies.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple equation:

Where:

• \( TDEE \) — Total Daily Energy Expenditure (kcal/day)
• 7 — Number of days in a week

Explanation: The equation multiplies your daily calorie needs by 7 to estimate weekly requirements.

3. Importance of Weekly Calorie Calculation

Details: Knowing your weekly calorie needs helps with meal planning, weight loss or gain programs, and maintaining consistent nutrition over time.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your accurate TDEE in kcal/day. The value must be greater than 0 for the calculation to work.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is TDEE?
A: TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn each day, including basal metabolic rate and physical activity.

Q2: How do I find my TDEE?
A: TDEE can be estimated using online calculators that consider your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level.

Q3: Why calculate weekly instead of daily calories?
A: Weekly calculations allow for more flexibility in meal planning and account for days with higher or lower calorie intake.

Q4: Is this accurate for weight loss?
A: For weight loss, you would typically subtract 250-500 kcal/day from your TDEE (or 1750-3500 kcal/week).

Q5: Does this account for exercise?
A: Only if your TDEE already includes your exercise calories. Make sure your TDEE input reflects your activity level.
