    I'm 35 6' tall 186 pounds small framed with a lean mass of around 135. Figure my BMR at about 1700 to 1800. I work out about 40 to 50 min 6 times a week other than which I am doing desk work. Figured my TDEE to be closer to 2400 than 2900 and my experience thusfar seems to match although I need more time for more data. Aiming for a 600 to 700 calorie deficit not a 1100 cal one.

    You are correct if that LBM estimate is really close, in fact BMR closer to the 1700 side, which is indeed below the average for your age, height, weight.
    So that would make a smaller TDEE compared to others.

    But not by that much.

    What are your workouts for 40-50 min 6x weekly?

    Might try the spreadsheet on my profile page for best estimates of BF% (in case you don't have, BMR (based on that), and more detailed activity assessment for better TDEE estimate.

    Thank you for your comments they are appreciated and are not overload. I started posting about this in my own thread TDEE Doubts. Hope to see you there.
