    But how do you know what your true TDEE is?

    Math.

    Well... I mean, if you believe that 3500 calories = 1 lb., I mean. That +/- 60-80 calorie per day could also be that it only takes me a 3070 calorie loss to lose 1 lb.

    ETA: what I mean is, I can tell you how many calories I've eaten and how much weight I have lost. I do the math and can tell you that my true TDEE (as measured by weight loss) is within 4% or so of what the FitBit says. Which is fine with me, I think it's awesome that it estimates it that closely. Online calculators/charts were less accurate than the FitBit, in my opinion.
