Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn each day, including calories burned through exercise and other activities, as well as those burned through basic metabolic functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and cellular growth and repair. This measure is crucial for anyone looking to manage their weight, as it helps to understand how many calories to consume to maintain, lose, or gain weight, depending on one's goals. TDEE is calculated based on several factors: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): This is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about 12 hours of fasting in humans). BMR accounts for the largest portion of your TDEE. Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT): This includes all forms of exercise and any other activities that require physical movement. Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT): This the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise. It ranges from the energy expended walking to work, typing, performing yard work, undertaking agricultural tasks and fidgeting. Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): This refers to the energy required for digestion, absorption, and disposal of ingested nutrients. It's typically about 10% of your total caloric intake.
