Which one of these are more accurate, because when I got on Scooby Calculator to calculate my TDEE, both methods give me a different number, Harris-Benedict gives me more calories while St-Jeor gives me about 150 calories less?

Which one should I be following?

    If you have an accurate body fat percentage (determined through DEXA scan, BodPod, etc. NOT via an online BF estimator or scale that gives you a BF%), use Harris Benedict. If not, use Mifflin St-Jeor.
