From what I understand, it considers the influence in metabolic rate, but does it consider calories consumed during execution?
BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate. It does not include calories burned via exercise.
Calories burned via exercise would be considered your EAT (exercise activity thermogenesis).
TDEE = BMR + TEF + EAT + NEAT
TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure
BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate
TEF = Thermic Effect of Food
EAT = Exercise Activity Thermogenesis
NEAT = Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis
I’m struggling with this myself. Particularly with setting up the My Fitness Pal App. Like, I bike for 40+ minutes nearly every day, but outside of that I’m working at my desk almost constantly with occasional minor breaks.
Am I sedentary or active?
