Back to basics - TDEE check and feedback

kaygold

Hi All!

So, after having gained some weight, I've decided I need to get back on the wagon rather than wallow in self pity and reach for the junk food lol .

Second to the vanity, I'm on new medication, which MAY cause weight gain. So, I want to be meticulous about my calorie tracking. This way, if I gain, rather than lose, I can rule out poor CICO, and work with my doctor to see if the medicine is having an adverse effect.

Was hoping my fellow TDEE warriors could make sure I'm calculating my stats right to make sure I don't mess up. I've done TDEE for a while, but never feel like having a second set of eyes hurts.

My current stats:

Female, 29, 5 feet 7 inches, 135lb

Activity: Orange Theory (1 hr HIIT with cardio on the treadmill, weights, and rowing)3-4 times a week... using 1-3 hours light exercise for my activity level.

Goal: 125

I use the Scooby Calculator, and came up with:

BMR: 1414
TDEE: 1944
10% cut: 1750

I chose 10% since I want to lose 10 pounds, but I'm all for slow and steady wins the race.

Does the above look right? Any jarring errors anyone can see? Or, any recommended changes?

Also, Scooby is what was recommended to me when I first started years back...is that still the go-to for most?

Thanks all!

Your numbers look good. Work with them for 6-8 week and see how it goes.

I only say 6-8 because you are on a less than 1lbs a week loss, TOM, and new meds, need to be taken into account.
