How do I know how many calories I need to consume per day?
Quote from ron4 on October 11, 2024, 10:01 amI heard that there is such an indicator as TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure), which takes into account the basic metabolism and activity. But I don’t understand how to calculate it for myself. There are many calculators on the Internet, but they all show different results. Plus, I exercise three times a week, sometimes adding cardio. How can I take into account physical activity and not make a mistake with the number of calories? I want to maintain my current weight, but at the same time not overeat or undereat. Maybe someone has already gone through this and can recommend proven methods of calculation? I would be grateful for any advice and recommendations.

Quote from Rossa on October 11, 2024, 10:07 amYou are right, TDEE is a great way to understand how many calories you need every day. TDEE takes into account your basic metabolism and all physical activity for the day. I recommend you try the tdee calculator. This calculator helps you take into account not only your height, weight, and age, but also how often you exercise. It’s great that it also gives you recommendations on how many calories you need to maintain, lose, or gain weight. As for your workouts, if you exercise three times a week, you can choose the moderate activity level. This should give you accurate results. Personally, this calculator helped me, so I think it will be useful for you too.
