WHAT is wrong with Scooby?!?!?!

Did they change a formula in their calculator? I'm kind of freaking out!!!! How come literally the 500 times that I've plugged my info in in the last 8 wks has the calculator given me a TDEE of 2500 and now today I went to run them again with the SAME exact numbers just to remind myself what my cut # is and the numbers were completely different....gives me a TDEE of like 2240? what the hell? I'm freaking out!

    I am betting you put something in the wrong spot. What are your stats?

    female
    5'6
    157
    33yr old
    5-6hrs strenuous

    If it IS correct that my TDEE is 2249 (which is what it says today) then WHY in the world did it say 2549 allllllll of the other times I've checked it? And yes, I'm neurotic sometimes and have checked it and looked over the mumbers 100s of times and it's ALWAYS said that my TDEE is 2549 (which is similar to what my BMF says that I hate to wear b/c it bothers my arm, drives me nuts, etc but wore it for a week to get a more accurate idea during reset). Even when I change the activity to the 7-21 hrs per week level it STILL doesn't say a TDEE of 2549...what the heck was I seeing before if this is the correct one?
