What "editorial team" means here
When you see by TDEE Calculator Editorial Team, it means the article was researched, drafted, and fact-checked by our internal editorial team against the cited sources before publication. Articles that have additionally been reviewed by a named expert (such as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist) carry that reviewer's name and credentials at the bottom.
We are deliberate about not attributing articles to fabricated experts. If a guide cites a Registered Dietitian as reviewer, that person is real and verifiable. If it cites only the editorial team, no medical reviewer has yet endorsed the piece.
For the full process — research methodology, source policy, update cadence, and corrections workflow — see our editorial standards page.
