Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use extra active TDEE?
Professional athletes, Olympic-level competitors, people doing 2+ training sessions daily, or those with extremely physically demanding jobs (logging, mining) plus additional training.
Is extra active TDEE accurate for most people?
No — this is for the top 1-2% of active individuals. Most people who think they're extra active are actually very active. Only use this if you train 15+ hours per week at high intensity.
How do professional athletes calculate their TDEE?
Many use metabolic carts and activity monitors for precision. The 1.9x multiplier is a general estimate. Elite athletes often track intake vs performance to dial in their actual needs.
