the initial calculator asked for my details which I entered and then it gave my results, I am confused about the TDEE as it says it’s what you need to maintain your current weight, but I actually want to lose weight and not maintain what I already am?

Can anyone help explain this?

Hi Maddy and welcome:

Number 4 in this post explains TDEE and how it works: https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/the-basics-for-newbies-your-questions-answered/

TDEE applies to your 5 non diet days – you don’t want to go over it. On your two diet days, you are under it and that is how you lose weight.

Good Luck!
