- Follow the Recommendations: Use the macro distribution (protein, fat, carbs) to plan your meals
Understanding the Results
BMR is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest. These calories are necessary for essential body functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production.
TDEE is the total calories you burn daily including daily activities and exercise. This is the number you should consume to maintain your current weight.
Macro distribution tells you how much protein, fat, and carbs you need daily. Protein is important for muscle building, fats for hormones and energy, and carbs for quick energy.
Important Tips
- Do not drastically reduce calories: Eating less than 1200 calories daily may cause nutritional deficiency and slow metabolism
- Be patient: Losing 0.5-1 kg per week is a healthy and safe rate
- Track your progress: Weigh yourself weekly and adjust calories based on results
- Accurately assess your activity level: Many people overestimate their activity level
- Consult a specialist: If you have a medical condition, consult a doctor or nutritionist
