1. What is TDEE?

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the total number of calories you burn each day, including basal metabolic rate (BMR) and activity. For women over 60 looking to lose belly fat, creating a modest calorie deficit is key.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these equations:

\[ BMR = (10 \times weight\:kg) + (6.25 \times height\:cm) - (5 \times age) - 161 \] \[ TDEE = BMR \times activity\_factor \] \[ Calories = TDEE - 300 \]

Where:

\( BMR \) — Basal Metabolic Rate (kcal/day)
\( TDEE \) — Total Daily Energy Expenditure (kcal/day)
\( activity\_factor \) — Multiplier based on activity level
300 — Recommended daily calorie deficit for gradual weight loss

3. Importance of TDEE for Weight Loss

Details: For women over 60, a 300 kcal/day deficit helps lose weight gradually while preserving muscle mass, which is especially important for belly fat reduction.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter accurate weight in kg, height in cm, age (must be 60+), and select your activity level. The calculator provides BMR, TDEE, and weight loss calorie target.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why subtract only 300 calories?
A: For women over 60, a smaller deficit helps prevent muscle loss and metabolic slowdown while still promoting fat loss.

Q2: How accurate is this for belly fat?
A: While you can't spot-reduce fat, a modest deficit combined with strength training helps reduce visceral belly fat over time.

Q3: Should activity level be adjusted with age?
A: Yes, many women over 60 may need to select a slightly lower activity level than they did when younger.

Q4: What if I'm not losing weight?
A: Recheck your activity factor and portion sizes. Metabolism slows with age, so adjustments may be needed.

Q5: Are there special considerations for women over 60?
A: Yes, protein intake should be higher (1-1.2g per kg body weight) and strength training is crucial to maintain muscle.
