Frequently asked questions
How many calories a day to lose weight?
A deficit of about 500 calories below your TDEE leads to a healthy loss of ~0.5 kg per week.
How much protein per day?
For training and dieting, 1.8-2.2 g of protein per kg of body weight is recommended to preserve muscle.
What's the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR = calories burned at rest. TDEE = total daily burn including activity. Your target is based on TDEE and your goal.
