I am confused
I have a Polar T4 HRM that I use to monitor calories being burned.
So I wanted a TDEE reading from it..
so I put it on for 10hrs and I got 1600 calories burned.
So 10hrs = 1600; 20hrs = 3200 calories
Now if I go to IIFYM, they give me my TDEE as
BMR is: 1912 Calories/Day
TDEE is: 2199 Calories/Day

Anybody know why there is a huge difference in numbers?

    Now I am confused.

    Use that link to plug in your numbers (page 2, basic info). Be sure to include bodyfat% and activity level.

    The TDEE it gives you is what you maintain at with exercise included. No need for guess work.

    Cut 10-20% off TDEE to safely lose weight without losing a bunch of muscle. Add 10-20% to TDEE to gain weight without adding too much bodyfat.
