BMR is the amount of energy your body needs to function at rest, while TDEE is the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including physical activity and exercise.

Glad you found the TDEE calculator helpful! To lose weight, have moderate to high protein, moderate fat, and lower carbs but increasing carb intake by 5% likely won’t hurt weight loss as long as you’re in a caloric deficit. Experiment to find what works best for you 🙂

Per our dietitian expert: I would recommend focusing on a balanced and nutritious diet to support overall health and well-being, rather than solely relying on calorie intake to lose weight. While it is theoretically possible to lose weight while consuming any type of food within your TDEE limit, a diet that prioritizes nutrient-dense foods will generally lead to better long-term outcomes.
