Frequently asked questions

How accurate is TDEE?

Within roughly 10% for most people. Track weight for two weeks and adjust calories if the trend is not what you expected.

Should I eat back exercise calories?

The activity multiplier already includes training, so eating extra on top usually erases the deficit.
