Testers for a simple TDEE calc

Walked on the treadmill this morn, Garmin says walked 2.6 mph, I set it to 2.5 for warm up and then to 3.0 for the work out but to change HR, just change incline levels.
As I quoted on April 22nd:
" VF average per day at 3542, I noticed when on treadmill VF - walking with HRM digits move between 8-13 per min. if at 82-85% of HR, Sedentary 2 per min. Sleeping 1.12 per min. "

With inputting the V 2max and height adjustment:

HR VF/Min
120 * 14
137 * 16-19
146 * 20

Right now VF is gonna give me a 3242 TDEE for the day, instead of that 3542 avg. number. All I'm doing is hanging crown molding right now so doubt it's gonna go any higher unless I take another walk.
Will check it out for another week and give you some more info.
Question
1) What if I lower that V 2max number?
2) I googled it, how come googled isn't a word yet? anyway read about oxygen intake.
I appreciate your input, Thanks

Wow, you can change the VO2max, nice.
But, if you can indeed do that in the stats, you don't need to do the height adjustment. The height is a workaround when there is no stat to change.

If you can indeed enter your own VO2max stat, the study on the HRM tab is actually newer and found to be better than what Garmin uses. Polar uses it, and it uses your resting HR too, since HRmax may be an estimate.

All you are doing is crown molding!
Aren't you up the ladder, then down, cut a little, back up, back down, trim a little more, back up, shake fist at molding, back down.....

1 - if you lower the VO2max, it'll see the same HR as burning less calories.
