BMR: 1900 calories, TDEE: 2300 calories

Indicates maintenance caloric needs, highlighting the importance of lifestyle changes for health.

Understanding BMR & TDEE

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs at rest to maintain basic functions. Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) includes all calories burned in a day, factoring in activity level.

Why Caloric Needs Matter

Knowing your caloric needs assists in making informed dietary choices. It helps clients set realistic weight management goals by understanding how many calories they should consume to maintain or lose weight.
