    Seems like a lot of hassle to achieve your calorie defecit

    I tried it for a couple of weeks...it was a hassle. Trying to remember what I could eat on a certain day...remembering when I could cook what and having to cook ahead for the high carb day on a low carb day. Drove me nuts.

    I lost some weight but I was stressed for the whole two weeks.

    Or you calculate TDEE based on weight changes given particular calorie intakes, which, though with its own uncertainties, seems better to me than generic formulas and BMR estimates.

    yes, notice that I have tried to be careful to use the word "estimate" when referring to the calculations. They are not exact, but rather a starting point to get you in the ballpark. You SHOULD collect enough data to calibrate the number to match your real world results.
