What is Total Daily Energy Expenditure and its Components? How is this important for weight loss? This might sound like a complicated term, but don't worry, we're going to break it down in a way that's easy to understand. 💡💪

So, what exactly is TDEE? It's the total amount of calories you burn in a day, taking into account all your activities, from breathing to intense exercise. Understanding your TDEE can help you plan your diet and exercise routine effectively, whether your goal is weight loss, maintenance, or gain.

TDEE is composed of four main components:

1. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): This is the amount of calories your body needs to perform basic functions like breathing and maintaining body temperature when at rest.
2. Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): This refers to the calories your body uses to digest, absorb, and process the nutrients in your meals.
3. Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT): These are the calories you burn from non-exercise activities like fidgeting, walking around your home, or doing chores.
4. Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT): This refers to the calories you burn through planned physical activities like jogging, swimming, or lifting weights.

So, how can you use this information to help you lose weight?

If you want to lose weight, you have to be in a caloric deficit, which means your energy expenditure is higher than your intake. Either you decrease your intake or increase your expenditure. But, doing both is the most effective as long as you are losing around 0.5 - 1 pound of body weight per week (250-500kcal deficit per day).
