I saw this on one of the post here but don't remember where.

The results I got were astonishing!! I am at a plateau and my bmr is 1962 so I'm trying to figure out how much to eat.
What are your results and are they accurate for you?

Thank you!!

    It's actually pretty close to what I get elsewhere. Total energy expenditure is a little on the high end for what I've gotten elsewhere, but otherwise, looks like a handy little calculator!

    I love it. The activity multiplier is the weakest link in estimates of total daily energy expenditure and this seems like a great way to find the right value.

    Thanks!

    It says for today about 1 1/2 hour workout and 1 hour house cleaning I should eat close to 3700 calories! IT seems insane to me! Is this why I haven't been losing? I've been netting at 2400-2500 for maintanance.

    This is cool - it looks pretty close to what MFP predicts - BMR a little over 1400 and total calorie expenditure on a long run day around 2600.
    I'm going to play around with it a little more when I have more time.
    thanks!

    That site put my BMR at 100 calories more than MFP, and my TDEE at just over 3,000 cals. Im eating about 1600 a day (plus exercise), and the scale isn't moving. I've just changed my exercise routine, so if that doesn't help then maybe I will up my calories from this advice.
