What’s Energy Expenditure Definition and Calculator

I do have an incredibly big issue with the Calorie Model..
Although it’s true that generally if you consume fewer calories over time than you burn you’ll loose weight, it’s not taking into account the fact that all of the factors such as NEAT,BMR,TEF and (lets be real), Exercise will ALL decrease probably to the point where you’re no longer in a deficit, and you’ve reached a state where your body burns less calories than it previously did, and hence going back to eating a normal number of calories won’t work and will just lead to going back to where you were before. You’ll be hungry and feel awful all of the time, and to be honest, that’s how eating disorders start. I honestly don’t believe that it’s as simple as calories in vs calories out, just intuitively it can’t be. I don’t believe you should have to count every single calorie that goes into your body in order for you to (at least) maintain your weight, SUREKY there are biological mechanisms that increase energy expenditure upon overconsumption or decrease it upon lower consumption surely the body wants to maintain homeostasis?
Simply put, I feel that there must be a better way of being able to lose weight than simply cutting calories.

The error of estimation can go both ways. Normally, you will estimate incorrectly on both your caloric intake and TDEE. Thus, you won’t really know your real TDEE or the real amount of calories you eat because it’s a chicken and egg problem. But not knowing your real TDEE or your real caloric intake won’t stop you from gaining or losing weight as long as the fundamental law is true (you gain weight when intake > TDEE, and you lose weight when intake < TDEE).
What you can do is to observe your body weight and adjust both TDEE and caloric intake. For example, if you expect your weight to decrease but it didn’t then try lowering your caloric intake by eating less and also try increasing the TDEE by exercising more. And keep doing that for a while (maybe a week or two) and then measure your weight again. You will lose weight. If you still don’t lose weight, adjust TDEE and caloric intake again. This simple strategy must always work 100% of the time otherwise the fundamental laws of physics about energy would be wrong.

How do we know what our constantly changing TDEE switches to on the daily?

So if I have total of 1,750 of calories consumed throughout the day for a caloric deficit and deducting 350 cal because of working out, should I eat 350 worth of cal to achieve the daily caloric deficit?

People with Apple Watch have this data right on their phone, I knew about TDEE before this video, It’s very simple to get accurate calculations Adjust your Measurements on Health app on your iphone, Wear your apple watch and do all the stuff and at the end of the day Open ‘Activity’ App on your iphone swipe the ‘Move’ Section and you’ll see two options one is ‘Active Calories’ which is all the calories used to perform activities and then comes TDEE ‘Total Calories’ Calories burned to keep the body alive. Cross-Check and Correct me if needed. Thanks.

Thanks bro for your knowledge!
I have a doubt though!
People say, body made through eating protein from foods remains longer than that made through taking whey protein.
Is it just phobia of whey protein or it’s the reason that you have to go to gym for longer while taking protein from food sources(only) like meat which in turn of course will be better because of longer time spent at the gym!

The question i have is linked to the loose weight or gain weight: is there a bod composition that the.body prefers?
For years now, when i diet,i loose weight, but 50/50 fat/muscle (even though i have high protein intake and do hard resistance training). And when i bulk, the same happens. I get heavier or smaller, stronger and weaker while maintaineing 19% bodyfat and 41% muscle. No.matter if im at 112kg at 196cm or even down to 91kg.
Some ideas?

TDEE’s are dem big bags of meat that are usually flopping around on the chests of most women.
Also known as:
Sweater meat
Chesticles

Or

Do reverse diets work can they actually increase metabolism and therefore TDEE?

Picture Fit Presents: Fitness Terms Explained.

Simple. Straightforward. Self Explanatory.

I was thinking of clever titles, like “Breaking Down the Bro Science” or “Sound Like A Fitness Scientist Saturday” or “Limbering Up Your Fitness Lingo”, but, in the interest of crystal clear clarity, I think simplicity is probably best. After all, the purpose of the series is to dispel confusion over esoteric fitness nomenclature. A simple title is in spirit with that goal.

The video itself was fun and informative as always. I think an understanding of TDEE is difficult to separate from other concepts like BMR and TEF and EAT and NEAT, but you did a commendable job of keeping the explanation short and effective PicFit.

I noticed you included “Moment Arm” in the word cloud at the beginning of the video when illustrating examples of esoteric fitness terms. Looking forward to that video possibly, someday.

I liked “Caution Man” at 3:07. Not the most exciting Marvel hero, but he does keep the Avengers insurance premiums low.

Well I tried the adding more caloric intake and still cannot manage to gain weight with 5000 calories. Any tips?

Could you cover tiger balm or other balms for muscle pain etc.

First place I’ve seen where it mentions using LEAN body mass instead of current mass in the BMR equation. Thank you for paying attention to that detail:)

For those who own an apple watch, TDEE would be the sum of Active Energy plus resting Energy?

Excellent sci comm. Nice to see solid facts/ research explained in a fitness channel!

The only point in the whole video is that less calories=weight loss and more calories=weight gain. This guy doesn’t give advice you’d hear from an actual gym goer, and waaaay overcomplicates very simple points. Don’t be fooled into thinking maintaining your physical wellbeing has to mean 24/7 stress, caculation and “perfect” diets or routines.

Should you be in a calorie surplus even in days that you don’t workout for bulking? Or would that just make you fat? For example in a 3 days a week workout

Please tell us more about TDEE! Like an advance video of this one. I think it’s a great tool for fitness

Must have been lil tedious say’n TDEE a lot in this video huh? Lol

This is getting scary. Every time I think of something or wanna learn more about fitness you upload a video on the topic. Is this a sign?

Would a person that is consuming a higher protein diet lose weight faster than a carb/fat heavy diet?

Maybe you could use F.I.T Fridays: Fitness Inherent Term(s) Friday or something along those lines.

What about NEAT why wasnt it mentioned? Some people start moving around and fidgeting like crazy when increased calories happen, so NEAT shoots through the roof.

woaah just calculated my TDEE. I should eat a lot more calories, than i am right now. That explaines a lot. Thank you so much!

TDEE says 3200-4000(depending on how much workout I do but I put in 0 workout even though I work out 6 days a week)(maintain), my fitness pal says 1950(cut) what should I follow?

You said not 1000 below, but 1000 below TDEE is 1000 above my fitness pal

@@@@ Make a video about reverse pyramid training vs pyramid training in terms of hypertrophy pleaseeeeeeeeeee @@@@
