What Is TDEE? 📊
If you've ever asked...
"How many calories should I eat?"
The answer starts with understanding your TDEE.
TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure.
It's the total number of calories your body burns in an average day.
That includes:
🔥 Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
🚶 Daily movement like walking and chores
🏋️ Exercise
🍽️ The energy it takes to digest food
Your TDEE is one of the most important numbers when creating a nutrition plan.
Generally speaking:
📉 Eat below your TDEE to lose body fat.
⚖️ Eat around your TDEE to maintain your weight.
📈 Eat above your TDEE to support muscle growth.
The key is knowing your starting point—not guessing.
At Fit Societe, we use training and nutrition together because neither works as well on its own.
Understanding your TDEE helps you make informed decisions that support your goals and create long-term progress.
