    Hi, Firstly, men tend to have higher levels of muscle mass compared to women. Muscle requires more energy to maintain, so men often have a higher basal metabolic rate (BMR). This means that even at rest, they burn more calories. Secondly, activity level also plays a role. Men often tend to do more intense physical activity, which increases their TDEE. Women can choose a wider variety of activities, including less intense workouts such as yoga or pilates. To try this out for myself, I decided that the best option would be a tdee calculator

    Knowing your TDEE allows you to plan your workouts based on your goals. If your goal is weight loss, you might want to create a calorie deficit by doing more cardio. If you want to gain muscle mass, you might want to increase your calories and add strength training. For example, you might split your week into strength training days and cardio days, using the 3-on-1 principle: three days of strength training and one day of cardio.
