User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query very concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: what is the relationship between BMR, TDEE, and other relevant concepts?
Assistant: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) are related concepts in the context of nutrition and fitness that help individuals understand their energy needs.

1. **Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)**: BMR is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions at rest, such as breathing, circulation, and cell production. It accounts for the largest portion of the body's total energy expenditure and is influenced by factors such as age, sex, weight, and muscle mass.

2. **Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)**: TDEE is the total number of calories you burn in a day. It includes BMR plus additional calories burned through physical activity and the thermic effect of food (the energy required for digestion). TDEE can be calculated by multiplying BMR by an activity factor based on your daily activity level (sedentary, lightly active, moderately active, very active, or extra active).

3. **Other Relevant Concepts**:
   - **Active Metabolic Rate (AMR)**: This is commonly used interchangeably with TDEE and refers to the total calories expended through all activities, including exercise.
   - **Caloric Surplus/Deficit**: To gain weight, one must consume more calories than TDEE (caloric surplus); to lose weight, one must consume fewer calories than TDEE (caloric deficit).
   - **Macronutrient Distribution**: Understanding BMR and TDEE can help determine how to distribute macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) in an individual's diet to achieve specific health goals.

Understanding these concepts can help guide nutritional planning and physical activity to achieve desired weight goals, whether that be weight loss, gain, or maintenance.
User: what can you calculate with the amount of calories you are eating a day and your weight lost over a period of time
