Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not adjusting for activity level

Fix: Your TDEE depends heavily on activity. A sedentary person needs far fewer calories than an active one of the same size.

Eating too few calories

Fix: Eating well below your BMR can slow metabolism and cause muscle loss. Aim for a moderate deficit of 300-500 calories for sustainable weight loss.
