How it works

Total daily energy expenditure is the calories you burn in a day — your resting metabolism (BMR) scaled by how active you are. Eating below it tends to lose weight and above it tends to gain, making it the anchor for any calorie plan.

Frequently asked questions

Why subtract 500 calories to lose a pound a week?

A pound of fat is roughly 3,500 calories, so a 500-calorie daily deficit adds up to about a pound a week. It’s an approximation — real results depend on adherence, water, and metabolic changes.
