Common questions
What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure is the total number of calories your body uses in a day, including resting metabolism, daily movement and exercise.
Is TDEE the same as my calorie target?
No. TDEE is roughly your maintenance calorie level. Your target is TDEE adjusted for your specific goal — losing, maintaining or gaining weight.
How accurate is a TDEE estimate?
Any formula-based estimate is a starting point, not a measurement. Calorie Target Lab is built to help you test and refine your estimate using real-world check-ins.
