Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is TDEE calculation?
TDEE calculations provide a good starting point, but individual variations exist. Factors like genetics, muscle mass, and metabolism can affect actual calorie needs. Monitor your progress and adjust as needed.
Should I recalculate my TDEE regularly?
Yes! As you lose or gain weight, your TDEE changes. Recalculate every 10-15 pounds of weight change or every few months to ensure your calorie goals remain accurate.
What if I'm not losing weight at my calculated deficit?
If you're not seeing results, try reducing your calorie intake by 100-200 calories or increasing your activity level. Remember that weight loss isn't always linear, and factors like water retention can affect the scale.
