1. What is Weekly TDEE?

Weekly TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is your total calorie expenditure over a week, calculated by multiplying your daily TDEE by 7. It represents the total number of calories your body burns in a week through all activities.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( TDEE \) — Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure in kcal/day
• 7 — Number of days in a week

Explanation: This calculation helps you understand your weekly calorie needs for weight maintenance.

3. Importance of Weekly TDEE Calculation

Details: Knowing your weekly TDEE is useful for meal planning, weight management programs, and understanding your overall energy balance over a longer period than just daily.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your daily TDEE in kcal/day. The value must be greater than 0. The calculator will multiply this value by 7 to give your weekly expenditure.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is TDEE?
A: TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure, which is the total number of calories you burn each day including your basal metabolic rate and activity.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but its usefulness depends on how accurate your initial TDEE estimate is.

Q3: Why calculate weekly TDEE?
A: Weekly calculations can help with meal planning and understanding your overall calorie balance, as daily intake often varies.

Q4: Can I use this for weight loss?
A: Yes, knowing your weekly TDEE helps create a weekly calorie deficit plan for weight loss.

Q5: Should I adjust for exercise?
A: Your TDEE should already include your activity level. If it doesn't, you may need to add exercise calories separately.
