There are similar sites but this is a quick n easy one - fill out your info then read the directions below, then come back and enter that into MFP.

This is what mine said, which is a big difference then what mfp says. Your BMR is:
1994
CALORIES/DAY
Your TDEE is:
2392
CALORIES/DAY. So which should I eat?0 -

You would eat 15 - 20% less than TDEE. Remember MFP says to eat whatever it says PLUS Exercise Calories. I find that often if you add the exercise calories in you're almost right at the number you get using TDEE.
