Saudi Arabia TDEE and calorie planning
TDEE means Total Daily Energy Expenditure — your estimated maintenance calories based on body size, age, gender and activity. Use the main TDEE calculator for the calculation, then apply Saudi food portion guidance to make the result practical.
How to use TDEE in Saudi Arabia
Weight loss
Use a moderate calorie deficit, prioritize grilled protein, reduce rice portions and track dates, sauces and sweet drinks.
Muscle gain
Use a small calorie surplus with enough protein and carbs around training. Kabsa/mandi can fit if rice and oil portions are controlled.
Maintenance
Keep weekly body weight stable by adjusting portions of rice, bread, snacks and drinks.

| Dates | Track pieces, not handfuls | Useful energy, easy to overeat |
| Laban / yogurt | Check sweetened vs plain | Hydration/protein support |
| Arabic bread | Track pieces or grams | Carb portion control |
