I'm new to whole TDEE concept so I went to several websites to find my TDEE and they all gave a different number. So confusing! Which website is the best one to use for the most accurate TDEE number?

    I just tested mine (not using Body Fat %) with Fitness Frog and Scooby's Workshop - they both came out the same.
    Scooby has an "Accurate" cal counter too, where you can adjust some optional figures (eg BF%) and it comes out a little less for me...
    Perhaps take an average of the different ones, or if you find two that give you the same with standard figures of height, weight and activity - then take that value.

    ETA: Worth checking which calculations the sites are using ... Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St. Jeor, Katch-McArdle etc
