OK...so what IS the difference between the number that you get at Scooby's Workshop and the Katch-McArdle number that you get at Fat2FitRadio? The K-M number I get is wildly different than the Scooby number.....by almost 600 calories. Which is better and why?

    My guess would be the scooby one is better, not only does it give you your TDEE, but it also asks about your excercise and breaks down your goals into a fat loss % rather than just a straight weight loss goal. I would go with scooby, oh also since that is the one most used by the successful members of this group...you know the saying "if it aint broke, don't fix it." LOL

    Bwahahaha! I'm the one who's broke and I AM trying to fix it. But yeah...I am going with Scooby...just wanted to know what the difference was between the two formulas.

    Take a look at the 2nd Scooby calculator and read the bit at the bottom of the page about the different calculations, you'll then be able to decide which is most appropriate :)
