Understanding BMR and TDEE
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the number of calories your body needs to perform basic functions such as breathing, circulation, and temperature regulation while at rest. Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) estimates the total calories burned in a day after accounting for physical activity.
These values provide a general guideline for understanding daily energy requirements and are commonly used in nutrition and fitness planning.
