Worked example
From the BMR example (≈1649 kcal/day) and a moderate activity factor of 1.55, TDEE ≈ 1649 × 1.55 ≈ 2556 kcal/day to maintain. A lose-weight goal subtracts about 500 kcal/day on this page (≈2056 kcal/day), which is a planning offset, not a guaranteed rate of loss.
\[ TDEE \approx 1649 \times 1.55 \approx 2556 \]
FAQ
What does the ±500 kcal goal do?
It is a conventional planning shift of about 500 kcal/day on top of TDEE. Actual weight change depends on adherence, water, and body composition.
Which activity factor should I pick?
Match the label: sedentary is little or no exercise; moderate is about 3–5 days/week. Overstating activity inflates the calorie target.
