Frequently asked questions

How many calories should I cut to lose weight?

A deficit of 300 to 500 calories below your maintenance level is a steady, sustainable pace of about 0.25 to 0.5 kg (0.5 to 1 lb) a week. Very large cuts are hard to keep up.

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is the energy your body uses at complete rest. TDEE adds the calories burned by daily movement and exercise, so it is the number to base your eating on.
