So there seems to be a ton of calculators to find ones BMR and TDEE. Which one seems to be the most accurate? I used scooby's but it seems to give the highest number out of the other ones I have seen. I want to make sure I am eating what I should be eating and not too much and definitely not too little.

    I believe most of us have used the scooby site for our TDEE estimates.
    But like everything out there, these are just estimates, so you have to play around with the numbers a bit as you go..

    I used Scooby and have had success with it. But, as the poster above said, you have to figure out what's best for your body.

    I usually look at 3 and take an average.
    - Scooby
    - fat2fitradio.com
    -fitnessfrog.org

    Fitness frog has also a calculator that lets you estimate calories based on your activity throughout the day. For me the end result is pretty close to the TDEE calculated by this site.

    Yeah I figured that would be the case but was just curious what one seems to work the best for most of the people here. :)

    All the sites pretty much use the same formula so they will be close. Try one that includes BF%

    Scoobys " Worlds most accurate" calculator gives option of Katch-McArdle formula which includes bf%. May be more accurate if bf% is anything upwards of maybe 25% or so. Harris-Benedict was formulated using lean males, so test subjects with around 15% bf.
