How do I know what my calorie deficit is
to lose weight?
1. Find out your physical activity level value; for a sedentary lifestyle,
the activity level value is 1.2.
2. Multiply your activity level value with BMR, you will get your total
daily energy expenditure ( TDEE ).
3. Subtract the TDEE from the total number of calories you consume.
4. If the above number is negative, you are in a calorie deficit.
