    Katch-McArdle takes into account your lean body mass and BF%, so I think it is generally considered more accurate.

    I believe I read the Mifflin St Joer is more accurate because most truly don't know their true Body Fat percentage.

    Try the Scooby calculator in the TDEE sticky and see what you get.
