Calorie & Macro
Calculator

UNDERSTANDING YOUR RESULTS

What do these
numbers actually mean?


Your results are a solid starting point — but numbers alone don't tell the whole story. Here's how to make sense of what you're seeing.

Remember: these are estimates. Your actual needs depend on factors like sleep, stress, hormones, and genetics that no calculator can fully account for.

TDEE — Total Daily Energy Expenditure

The total calories your body burns in a day, including exercise. This is your maintenance number — eat at this level to hold your current weight.

Calorie deficit for weight loss

A 500 kcal daily deficit creates roughly 0.5kg of weight loss per week — a sustainable, evidence-based rate. Going lower than this can backfire.

Protein

Essential for muscle repair, satiety, and metabolism. Most people don't eat enough — especially when in a calorie deficit. Prioritise it at every meal.

Carbohydrates

Your body's preferred energy source. Focus on quality — wholegrains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables — rather than cutting them out entirely.

Fats

Critical for hormone health, brain function, and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. Choose unsaturated sources like avocado, nuts, and olive oil.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR RESULTS

Get a plan built
around 
your body.


A calorie calculator is a great starting point — but a personalised plan from Tess takes it further, with meals, recipes, and expert guidance built specifically for you.
