BMR

Base Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the measure of how many calories your body burns in a day before any exercise or activity is taken into account.  If you lay in bed all day, your body still burns calories to perform basic functions such as maintaining body temperature, breathing, digestion, etc.

TDEE

Total Daily Energy Expenditure is the measure of how many total calories total your body burns in a day.  TDEE takes into account BMR plus the calories burned during exercise and daily activities.  To calculate TDEE, you will need to estimate your activity level.

TDEE and Weight Loss

Inspite of all the dietary hype we hear each day, weight loss remains a very simple concept:  to lose weight, you must burn more calories than you consume.  Your TDEE is an estimate of how many calories you burn in a day.  To lose weight, choose a target number of calories to consume each day that is less than your TDEE and consistently hit your target.
