What is TDEE?

Kate_UK

I'm not new to MFP but it's been a while since I've logged in or read the forums. I see lots of posts that mention TDEE. Can anyone explain in simple terms what it is and how it works?

Thanks!

Thank you! That's a lot of information! I'll be working out my new calorie goal tonight when I have my numbers to hand.

I re-wrote that into this:

Might be a little easier to read??? But my info came from that source and posts I put up here to understand it - my metabolism has turned back on and I am burning now - 16 lbs in 66 days!

Wow! That's fantastic, well done on your loss!

I calculated my numbers and I get 1755 calories a day, I know I'm quite a tall woman at 5ft 9.5 but that seems an awful lot!
