1. What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn each day, accounting for your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and physical activity. It's crucial for muscle building and strength training.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for men:

\[ BMR = (10 \times weight) + (6.25 \times height) - (5 \times age) + 5 \]

Then calculates TDEE:

\[ TDEE = BMR \times activity\_factor \]

Where:

\( weight \) — Weight in kilograms
\( height \) — Height in centimeters
\( age \) — Age in years
\( activity\_factor \) — Multiplier based on activity level (1.2-1.9)

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

Details: Accurate calorie calculation is essential for muscle gain (caloric surplus) or fat loss (caloric deficit) while maintaining strength.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your weight in kg, height in cm, age in years, and select your activity level. For muscle gain, aim for 10% above TDEE; for fat loss, aim for 10% below.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use Mifflin-St Jeor equation?
A: It's currently considered the most accurate BMR equation for healthy individuals.

Q2: How often should I recalculate my TDEE?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight changes (±5kg).

Q3: What's the best activity factor for weight training?
A: Most weightlifters fall in the "Moderately active" (1.55) to "Very active" (1.725) range.

Q4: Should I eat more on workout days?
A: You can use calorie cycling (more on workout days, less on rest days) while maintaining weekly totals.

Q5: How accurate is this for very muscular individuals?
A: It may underestimate needs for those with exceptionally high muscle mass (>100kg lean mass).
