TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

TDEE is the total number of calories burned in a day through basal metabolism, daily movement and exercise.

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories burned in a day through basal metabolism, daily movement (NEAT) and exercise. Because activity level varies day to day, TDEE isn’t a fixed number either.

Most apps treat TDEE as a one-time, fixed estimate. In Cookrange, calories burned that day (read from your phone’s motion data) show up as a passive number on top of your target; when you ask Cookrange AI to regenerate your plan, that new data is factored in.
