    That site you suggested just said my BMR is 1400 >.< And my TDEE is 16-1700 thats depressing XD And im pretty sure wrong since iv been losing weight faster than those numbers would allow for :P

    That site (if it's the one I think it was) is great -- if you input a body fat %, otherwise, it really low-balls things.

    Ill work on finding out my body fat % XD

    Body fat estimate first.
    http://www.gymgoal.com/dtool_fat.html

    BMR estimate here next using that BF% - which gives the Katch formula.

    Or any other site (one given, Scooby's, ect) where it allows giving BF% and selecting Katch formula and then TDEE options.

    Also, measuring for BF is same as a valid weigh in to minimize risk of water weight fluctuations -
    Morning after rest day eating normal sodium levels, not sore from last workout.

    And what's nice about above calc - it gives 2 formula results, so better chance of average being good estimate.
