Key Terms

  • BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): The number of calories your body burns at complete rest—just to keep you alive (breathing, circulation, organ function).
  • TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure): Your BMR multiplied by your activity factor. This is the total calories you burn in a day including work, exercise, and daily movement.
  • Activity Level:
    • Sedentary (1.2): Little or no exercise, mostly sitting.
    • Light (1.375): Light activity/sports 1–3 days per week.
    • Moderate (1.55): Moderate exercise/sports 3–5 days per week.
    • Very Active (1.725): Hard exercise/sports 6–7 days per week or a physical job.
    • Extra Active (1.9): Very hard exercise + physical job, or 2x daily training.
  • Recomposition (“Recomp”): Eating at around maintenance calories (±0%) with high protein and resistance training to simultaneously lose fat and gain or preserve muscle. Progress is slower than a pure cut or bulk, but body composition improves steadily.
