Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, combining your BMR with energy used through physical activity, digestion, and daily movement. TDEE is the practical number used to determine whether you should eat in a calorie deficit, surplus, or at maintenance.
