    Your TDEE is how many calories you burn. It takes into account your activity level, whre your BMR does not.

    TDEE-15% or 20% is a safe way to lose weight.

    http://thefitgirls.com/tdee-calculator.aspx#.T7qoBlJP66Q You can find your TDEE here.

    Mine is 2250-450 (20%)=1800. That is what I eat everyday. I do not eat back exercise calories because TDEE already took that into account.

    I also adjust my macors: My carbs/Protein/Fat. I like 35/35/30...but I normally do less carbs than 35%. But for most people that is a good ratio.

    Not really any questions asked.

    Total Daily Energy Expenditure

    What your body burns for all activities in a day.
    Base metabolism BMR + energy to digest food + non-exercise daily activity + exercise.

    Literally changes everyday, but usually looked at on a weekly avg daily basis. As in, TDEE calculator asked how many hrs you workout each week.
    Most TDEE calculators take BMR x multiplier that encompasses everything else.
    Except MFP, which uses BMR x multiplier that does not include exercise, you add that later when really done.
    Same result as long as you really did the workout.

    If you eat less than your TDEE, body is still using that energy, so it supplies it from stored fat.
    If you eat more than your TDEE, body stores excess as fat.
    If you eat at TDEE, you maintain weight.

    And within all scenarios there, still fat storage going on, still fat burning going on, ect.
