Another TDEE question...(sorry!)

I've visited a number of sites to calculate my TDEE and they are all punching out different numbers. I exercise 5 x a week (3 x weight training and 2 x cardio). Do I still set my activity as moderate (3-5hrs a week) or light as my cardio only consists of about 2 hrs a week?

It's all estimates and averages anyway, why not pick a number in the middle somewhere and just go with that as your TDEE for a couple months and see if your expected loss/maintenance/whatever is on track. If not, adjust it up or down.
I personally have a fitbit, so I just go by what it tells me my average TDEE is from the data it gathers every day.0 -

Whichever you choose, go with it for 4-6 weeks and then make adjustments if needed.0
