Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Calories burned at complete rest. It is the minimum energy needed to maintain vital functions such as breathing, circulation, and organ function.

Basis for all calculations
πŸƒ

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)

BMR Γ— Activity Factor. Represents all calories burned daily, including exercise and everyday activities.

Your actual daily expenditure
🎯

Calories for Your Goal

Loss TDEE - 500 kcal
Maintenance = TDEE
Gain TDEE + 500 kcal

🎯 Strategies for Each Goal

⬇️

Weight Loss

Deficit: 300-500 kcal

Create a moderate deficit to lose 0.5-1kg per week while maintaining muscle mass.

  • Prioritize protein (2g/kg)
  • Maintain strength training
  • Be patient and consistent
βš–οΈ

Maintenance

Balance: 0 kcal

Maintain current weight while improving body composition (recomposition).

  • Focus on nutritional quality
  • Adjust according to activity
  • Monitor weight weekly

Mass Gain

Surplus: 200-400 kcal

Controlled surplus to gain 0.25-0.5kg per week minimizing fat gain.

  • Train heavy and progressive
  • Sleep 7-9 hours
  • Be patient with the process

⚑ Components of Caloric Expenditure

πŸ›οΈ

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

60-75%

Calories spent at rest for basic vital functions.

πŸƒ

Physical Activity

15-30%

Planned exercises and structured workouts.

🚢

NEAT

15-30%

Non-exercise daily activities (walking, working, fidgeting).

🍽️

Thermic Effect

8-15%

Energy spent on digestion and food processing.

πŸ’‘ Tips for Success

πŸ“Š

Track for 2 Weeks

Use apps like MyFitnessPal to understand your current eating patterns.

βš–οΈ

🎯

80/20 Consistency

Be precise 80% of the time. Controlled flexibility is sustainable.
