what would you recommend miff/katch/harris?

OK so I did the brm calculator for Harris, katch and miff ///// 345lbs 6'2 37.7% bodyfat
Harris 2967
Katch 2475
Miff 2603
I can't figure out which one to use they all have pro's and con's to them so I am curious to know which to pick as for now I am sticking around 2800-3k calories and working out but i have not been on it long enough to notice anything huge yet. Just curious to what you use?

I averaged the 3 and got 8045/3 = 2681 x1.4 - 1000 gave me 2754 so i am around 2800 calories my active level for my job is moderate with 3 - 5 days exercise i used 1.4.

currently looking at carbs/pro/fat 30/40/30

For you the higher one. But as you lose weight, you might have to reassess. I am already at 200 calories less per day than when I started. So, I had to either eat fewer calories or exercise more to keep up with the same pace for losing weight. Or I could opt for losing slower. So, I decided I would move more and that seems to be working. It's all pretty much a guessing game anyway, no matter which formula you use. For example if you carry more lean weight than the average for your height and weight which it looks like this might be the case, because a lot of people that weigh 345 have a lot higher BF percentage, then you will burn more just because you have that extra muscle. Sorry if this is clear as mud, but that's the breaks, unless you get clinical tests done it's all guesses. Keep an eye on the scale to see if you are losing faster or slower than what your formula suggests and go from there. Give it a 6 weeks to a couple of months though because of fluxes.

The others are been led astray by your body weight being out of the range of the subjects they used to define the equations.
