Adaptive TDEE tracking

Good afternoon,

I love this app and it has helped me lose 10 lbs in the last couple months. I am now looking to increase my calorie count but do not want to overshoot my surplus.

My suggestion is an adaptive TDEE calculator. It would use the weight logs and calorie logs to calculate what your actual TDEE is based on weekly weight loss instead of formulas and guesstimating how many calories you burn during lifting or other exercise.

It is possible and should not be too difficult to implement as a premium feature. Here is a Reddit post outlining an existing adaptive TDEE calculator in the form of a google spreadsheet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/4mhvpn/adaptive_tdee_tracking_spreadsheet_v3_rescue/

Thank you for reading and I hope the MFP team considers this as it would make my and many of your other users fitness journeys easier and more robust.
