    Online calculators can only estimate based upon averages.

    The only way to figure out your personal TDEE is to collect your own data over time and see what you get.

    There isn't one. Look at a few and take the average, after throwing out any that look to be out to lunch.

    You have a couple of choices to get more accurate (but you will never be 100%).

    Log and track everything meticulously, food, activities and weight, then after 3-4 months, do the math.

    Get a fitness tracker with an HRM and use it 24/7 to track all your activities. Understand that it is also an estimate and, depending on some nebulous factors, could be close or way off still. I'm finding my Vivoactive to be pretty close.
