Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is the calories you'd burn at total rest. TDEE adds activity — it's the number you actually eat to maintain weight. Multiply BMR by 1.2 (sedentary) to 1.9 (athlete).

How big a deficit for weight loss?

500 kcal/day ≈ 1 lb/week loss. Anything more than 1000 kcal/day tends to cost muscle. Slow is stickier.

Do I need to count calories forever?

No — 2–4 weeks of tracking teaches you portion sizes for good. Most people maintain by eye after that.

Are these numbers exact?

Mifflin-St Jeor is within ~10% for most adults. Real-life burn varies by NEAT (fidgeting), sleep, and even weather. Adjust based on 4-week weight trends.
