Frequently Asked Questions

What is Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)?

TDEE is the total number of calories your body burns in a 24-hour cycle. It combines your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR ~60-70%), Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT ~15-20%), Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT ~5-10%), and the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF ~10%).

Which activity multiplier should I select?

Most desk-bound adults in Singapore who exercise 2 to 3 times per week fall into the 'Lightly Active' multiplier (1.375). Overestimating activity is the most common reason weight loss stalls.

What happens if I eat at my maintenance calories?

Eating at your true maintenance calories produces stable body weight while supporting optimal training performance, hormone production, and joint recovery.
