    I use my own data with this calculation

    Total calories consumed+(weight lost x 3500)/# days

    But this only works if you weigh your food and are accurate with your logging.

    I like to use this one. http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

    It's just a place to start, ok? Towards the middle is a drop down menu that will show you the results based on the different popular formulas. Just pick one. Or an average of them. Or post the results here, and we'll help you figure them out.

    I put my stats into several different calculators and took the average, then used that as my baseline and tweaked it from there based on results and meticulous logging.

    I like scooby too. It's been pretty accurate for me so far.

    This is what I do too.

    I use calorieline.com, it's got a lot more work/activity options for you to choose what best matches your lifestyle. It has a lot of useful info on TDEE too :)
