    didnt read all responses
    1800 is my goal give or take and I eat every last cal :)
    I forget what the calculator alloted me but it didnt feel like enough...so I adjusted based on how my body was feeling (and eating good/filling foods)

    MFP put my daily goal as 1500.

    I have recalculated using the Katch-McArdle formula as it accounts for lean body mass.

    As of Monday

    BMR =1672
    TDEE = 2304
    then i will have a 25% reduction on my low days and 10% reduction on my high days so

    Low = 1728cals
    High = 2073 cals

    BMR: 2100ish, depending on the formula I use.
    Goal: 2450 plus exercise monitored by a Polar FT7.
    I really hope a lot of the people posting in this thread have BMR and TDEE mixed up... otherwise a lot of people are eating way less than they should be for best health. :/
    Nice boat you have there, can I join you?

    BMR--1842 kcal

    TDEE--2763 kcal + Exercise Calories

    Goal Set at 2763, but I eat between 2211 and 2763 on days I don't exercise. After adding exercise calories, I multiply by 80% to get my minimum Calorie intake.

    BMR - 1350 (why is it so low? Guessing it is due to my lower weight and age of 36)
    TDEE - 1650 without exercise according to this site.
    Daily goal - around 2400 with my usual cycling. 1600 without as am trying to maintain.
    Not dared try it without exercise yet.

    MFP gave me numbers that were too low.. My BMR is up around 3500 somewhere, MFP had me at 1700. I'm slowly adding calories back. I'm up to 2000 but I need to be at around 2200-2400.

    TDEE: 2394
    Daily Goal: Intake at least 2000, I burn 1000 a day, 2,000 + on long run training days, so my net is typically 1200-1400 goal. It is tough to eat that much back in a day especially all healthy!

    More important is knowing your resting metabolic rate.

    More important is knowing your resting metabolic rate.

    which I do know, but when you are training for a marathon and burning through 7.000 calories a week and not intending to lose weight anymore, merely maintain and build muscle strength, the resting rate is really not what should be the guideline. Everyone is different though, which I think is the point to this thread :-)

    BMR : ~1800
    TDEE: ~2400 (according to an HRM i wore for 24 hours on a day i barely did anything)

    my daily calorie goal is 1850

    i have quite a bit of muscle mass and work out with heavy weights. i tried going by MFPs calculations which had me eating 1200 calories but it was affecting my strength training and HIIT workouts. i couldnt have that because pushing through those suckers is what makes my exercise enjoyable :laugh:
