Is this accurate for anyone?

Health-calc - Energy expenditure adv.

Ive used alot of these over the last week, I like this for some reason

are the results inline with what you are currently doing or goals?

I should have done this along time ago huh

 

[Felixflex]

that calculator puts me at 3.8k calories TEE, I eat 2.5k calories and only slightly losing weight

 

[spartacus]

I don't find it accurate, always says I am burning more than I am.

Says I need 3450 calories, but I actually put on weight on 3000 calories with current lifestyle.

you need to turn the dials

 

[myst]

Fairly accurate for me, says I burn 3900 calories currently, cutting on around 3400 and losing a few hundred grams per week.

 

[Swervyn-Ervyn]

[d1mitch]

bout accurate for me, put me at 3439 daily expenditure and am maintaining at around 3000-3500 calories per day

 

[Jungnaut]

3,475 total calorie expenditure on a typical day for me, it says. No wonder why I haven't put on weight, I am barely eating that much in food!

 

[Darkoz]

The calculated calories seems high to me

 

[chocchillimango]

this calculator puts my TDEE at 2475kcals.

That is way over my real TDEE from experience.

 

[Timeah]

If it was, id be skinnier.

[Sydking]

How do you all find your real TDEE then?

Trial and error seems to be the only real way.

Bingo.

Perhaps even more relevant, all the kcal values you find for various foods / meals are just estimates, often wildly inaccurate estimates.

But its all better than just fumbling around in the dark.

True, I cross reference calories and macro breakdown of food with alteast 3 different sources now days

And when they match up, they were probably all copied from the same original source which was an estimate
