TDEEnél

TDEEnél is a term used to describe the estimated total daily energy expenditure of an individual, taking into account their basal metabolic rate (BMR), the thermic effect of food (TEF), and their level of physical activity. It represents the total number of calories a person burns in a 24-hour period. Calculating TDEEnél is often done to help individuals manage their weight, whether for loss, gain, or maintenance. The calculation typically involves first determining BMR using formulas like the Harris-Benedict equation or the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. This BMR is then multiplied by an activity factor that reflects the individual's daily exercise and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). TEF, the energy used to digest and absorb food, is usually estimated as a percentage of total calorie intake, often around 10%. Various online calculators and apps are available that can assist in estimating TDEEnél based on personal data such as age, sex, weight, height, and activity level. It's important to note that TDEEnél is an estimate, and individual results may vary due to factors like genetics, body composition, and hormonal influences. Therefore, it is often recommended to use TDEEnél as a starting point for dietary and exercise planning and to adjust based on personal progress and feedback.
