FAQ
Q: How large should my calorie deficit be?
A: A deficit of 300 to 500 calories per day is generally considered sustainable, leading to a healthy weight loss of approximately 0.5 to 1 pound per week.
Q: Is TDEE calculated differently based on activity?
A: Yes, TDEE incorporates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and your activity multiplier. Higher activity levels increase your TDEE, meaning you can consume more calories while maintaining a deficit.
