I got up this morning and decided to check a few things, including my TDEE. I sometimes do this to double check things. I'm 30 years old, female, 60 cm, and weight 75kg (I use the metric system). I generally fit in the light exercise category.

In the past I just plug these things in and I get a BMR of about 1400-1600, and my TDEE would be about 1800-1900. Today I plug it into this website https://tdeecalculator.net (I have used it before) and I get a BMR of 814, and a TDEE of 1119! Ok I know I'm not that tall and when you turn 30 your metabolism slows down but thats a pretty big slowdown!


I'm checking a few other calculators (first few on google with a TDEE search) and I'm getting a little better numbers, but I'm sure I've seen higher numbers in the past. I'm even putting in a younger age or a higher hight (27 years, 100cm), but they're not that much better

Either I'm putting in the numbers wrong, gone crazy, or have the calculations changed?

    Check you're putting the numbers in right, and have said you're using metric :)

    Also, are you missing a 1 off your height? 60 cm is very, very short!

    Hahaha you're right, I wasn't putting a 1, I am 160 but always remember the 60 :blush: Those numbers look much better

    Thanks, maybe this will give people a laugh :)
