Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

A deficit of 500 calories per day typically produces about 1 pound of weight loss per week (since 3,500 calories approximately equals 1 pound of fat). Start with a modest deficit of 15–20% below your TDEE and adjust based on actual results over 2–3 weeks.

What is the difference between calories and TDEE?

A calorie is a unit of energy. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total calories your body burns per day from all sources: metabolism at rest, digestion, and physical activity. Your daily calorie goal is set relative to your TDEE — below it to lose weight, at it to maintain, above it to gain.

How often should I take breaks from sitting?

Experts recommend standing or moving for at least 5 minutes every 30 to 60 minutes. If you sit more than 8 hours daily, aim for breaks every 30 minutes to reduce back and neck strain.

What is proper screen height for ergonomics?

The top of your monitor should be at or slightly below eye level, about 20-26 inches from your face. The screen should be tilted slightly back (10-20 degrees) so you look slightly downward.
