Help calculating my TDEE?

LenaGracie

Hello,
I was hoping some patient soul out there could help me calculate my TDEE and how many calories I should be eating a day to lose weight.
I'm very confused about all this. MFP gives me 1200 calories but that seems a little low and unsustainable. Even 100 or 200 calories more would be much more realistic for me. I'm under the impression TDEE is more accurate than MFP and hopefully it says more than 1200 calories. Haha.
I weigh 146 currently and my goal is 130-135. I'm 5'6.5" I'm a full time student so my lifestyle is pretty sedentary.
Thanks!

I also find scoobys to be valuable.

Yep try scoobys, you can try the one on iifym.com too, and maybe try both or something in between. With only 10-15 pounds to lose you can chose to lose .5 lbs per week and you'll be able to eat more.
