I need the TDEE method folks to come out of the woodwork

xinit0

Yesterday, I decided to disconnect my fitbit from MFP and just go with TDEE-X% for the MFP calorie calcs.

I'm male, and at 35% BF / 234 lbs, and KMcA BMR of 1862, with 2909 as the moderately active number (Fat2Fit) seems crazy high to me.

I took my desired 2lbs/week (7000 calorie deficit), and I come in above my BMR at ~1909. That's pretty tight, but before this, MFP was telling me that 1600 would be enough, plus whatever random number it'd throw at me for exercise calories. I found the exercise estimates to be pretty much insane. Walk 10km one day, it was a 45 calorie reduction, walk 7km another and it's 450 calorie credit?

I'll try this for a couple weeks and see how it works out.

Yes, you are 100% right. We are all the exact same and there are no variables between humans. What I meant to say was, mecca lecca hi mecca hiney ho.

I never put any words into your mouth. I made a simple comment and you flourished the meaning in your imagination. Bibbidi bobbodi boo.

:huh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry,
MalloryKnoXrox, I just can't compete with your incredible cartoony comebacks from PeeWee's Playhouse and Cinderella. You win - I'm a huge twit who came in here and said we're all exactly the same, the cookie cutter formula works for all of us, and if you're not just like me you're doing it wrong. It's all right there in my posts.

:smokin:

OP - so sorry for having hijacked this thread with this ridiculous "conversation", certainly wasn't my intention. Apparently trying to be helpful is a crime to some folks! And the ignore button is a beautiful function of these message boards!

Carry on!

OH WAIT! Sorry again! I still got it wrong.... what I MEANT to sat was.... The storm starts, when the drops start dropping
When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping. How could I make such an error!
