NUTRITION NUTRITION ROUND TABLE:
THE ENERGY EQUATION
Whether you are wanting to create an energy surplus to build muscle or add a couple more weight plates to your barbell, or a deficit to shed unwanted fat, understanding how much food you need to eat is key. But, unless you are a maths whiz, it’s easy to get lost among the acronyms and number-crunching. We asked our nutrition experts how they calculate Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) – or the number of calories you burn each day – so you know how to take the best advantage of your metabolism and activity.
