Frequently Asked Questions

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain basic functions like breathing, circulation, and cell repair.

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) = BMR × Activity Multiplier. It represents the total calories you burn per day including physical activity.

A deficit of 500 calories/day below your TDEE typically results in ~0.5kg (or 1 lb) per week weight loss. Avoid going below 1,200 kcal/day for women or 1,500 kcal/day for men.
