Why is TDEE Important? 

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) measures the total amount of calories your body burns in a day based on your activity level, age, weight, and height. Understanding your TDEE can help you make informed decisions about your diet and exercise routine, whether your goal is to maintain, lose, or gain weight.

Tracking your TDEE helps you better manage your energy intake to reach your fitness goals. It can also help you adjust your daily caloric intake to ensure you are consuming the right amount of energy for your body’s needs.
