Ok, so I am curious for a while now what my actual TDEE is. After logging consistently I now have my own data of 8 weeks. I hope I have done the calculations correctly. I am posting it here so maybe someone can check..
If I look at the mean caloric intake per day for those 8 weeks it's: 1795.75.
I have lost 5.5kg(12.125 lbs) in those 8 weeks.
Using the 3500 calories per lbs lost theory, i had a deficit of 42437.5 calories in 8 weeks, that's 5304.68 a week; 757.8125 a day.
Adding that to the mean caloric intake of 1795.75 totals 2553.5.
So my TDEE would be 2553.5. Correct?

Depends on your diet, in some low carb diets initial weight loss can be water, try recalculating using your last four or six weeks data0

Intake 1800, lost 0.2 lbs/day, TDEE is about 2500. Check.0

Great, thanks and I will recalculate in a few weeks!

Why not just google and use one of the oodles of calculators that come up?? I don't think that's the way it is calculated0

Ok - fine (don't agree, but whatever), but I still do not think the above is how it is calculated. You can still do all the math yourself.0 -
Yes I always have a hard time with those calculators because I don't know in which activity level I fit. I saw this calculation somewhere so I decided to try myself and see what tdee would be most accurate for me. If you know another way to calculate this, could you show me how? The more knowledge I have the better I think!0

The formula I was given was
Total calories eaten + (3500 x pounds lost) / # of days = TDEE
So at one point I figured mine out over 21 days and it was
(42,652 + 25,200) / 21 = 3,231.04762 TDEE
