What is your TDEE and do you pay attention to it?

I just worked mine out and it is 2733. I want to bulk up so I got to add 10% on to this.

Has it worked for you?

    If you want advice about bulking up- I'd go to the Fitness and Exercise Forum

    My TDEE is about 2300. I am 5'3", 151 lbs, with 31% BF. I am in the process of losing weight with goal of 18-20% BF. I have been going -20%, and yes it is working.

    I'm 5'6" 118-122lbs and my average TDEE is 2200. I eat 2000 per day for a buffer (not trying to gain or lose) but don't mind if I'm a couple hundred over every once in awhile.

    Mine's around 2200 or so and yes I pay attention to it. I'm trying to maintain so it was important to figure out my TDEE.

    ETA: I'm 5'5'', 136 lbs, 29 y/o

    I lost weight eating 500 per day under my TDEE (which was variable as I was losing and trying to find the workout routine that worked for me, but 500 under was between 20 and 25% under--my current TDEE is about 2250), but I agree with jaz that you need to ask some bulkers about bulking. I got where I wanted to be going down and considered a minor bulk at the end, but by the time I finished training for a half marathon that I walked in February, my numbers were pretty much exactly where I wanted them to be, so not trying to gain.

    Mine is 1545. I am 53 yrs old, 5'2" and about 100 lbs. This is not a lot of calories so I have to exercise if I want to eat anything out of my normal diet.

    38 yr old 5'4" female and my TDEE is about 2100. I'm eating about 1600-1700 to lose. This has worked very well for me in comparison to eating 1200 and stalling out.

    I usually eat around 1900-2000 cals a day.

    I am looking to maintain and have more muscle definition.

    Had a metabolic assessment done because I suspected a low metabolism. Turns out I was right. My TDEE is 1134 with a daily desk job. So if I want to be able to eat I have to workout a lot.

    Total Daily Energy Expenditure. Basically what you would eat to maintain your current weight. Lots of calculators out there. I like this one: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/
