Understanding Calorie Needs

Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn each day. It includes your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) - calories burned at rest - plus calories from activity. To lose weight, eat less than your TDEE. To gain, eat more. A 500 calorie daily deficit typically results in about 0.5 kg (1 lb) of weight loss per week.
