How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

A standard recommendation for safe weight loss is a deficit of 500 calories per day, which theoretically results in 1 pound of weight loss per week.

TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It represents the total number of calories you burn in a day through basal metabolic rate (BMR) and physical activity.
