Frequently Asked Questions
What is 3000 calorie?
A 3000-calorie diet means consuming approximately 3000 kcal per day. This is achieved through a calorie surplus of 500 kcal/day (+500 kcal above TDEE). Most women need 1,200–2,400 kcal/day; men need 1,600–3,000 kcal/day.
What are BMR and TDEE?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain vital functions. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) adds your activity level on top of BMR — this is your actual daily caloric need.
How should I split my macros (protein, carbs, fat)?
A common split is 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat. For muscle gain, increase protein to 2g per kg of bodyweight. For weight loss, keep protein high (1.6–2.2g/kg) to preserve muscle mass while in a deficit.
