So I've been seeing Scoobyworkshop being recommended to everyone lately and thought I'd pay a visit.
Of course, my numbers are a bit different than what I got here:

Sticky Post #s:
TDEE- 2360
TDEE-15%= 2006

Scoobyworkshop #s:

TDEE 2148
TDEE-15%= 1825 (Harris-Benedict)

My calories are set to 1900 (with 100 buffer) right now.
So which set of numbers should we use?

    Same here my numbers I did a month ago from the sticky said 2000 and Scooby says 1847 which is only a 10% reduction in calories.

    Well, in the tdee post I used another calculator with breakdown of the formula and it caused confusion. I found that other formulas didn't take into consideration the 10% for digestion. Kiki loves Scooby and I like the ease of use, so we agreed to remove the other formula and links and go with the Scooby calculator. I thought I removed the other references, if not let me know. I did a quick glance.

    I'm not sure exactly which thread, but I found the steps directing me to fat2fit before I ever joined the EM2WL group. I was just trying to learn more about TDEE and BMR at that point.
