    Just keep plugging away at it. I am losing weight eating around 2200 calories a day. It is SO worth the reset! Go watch some of the videos on the EM2WL.com website - they are really helpful, honest and great to help you get into a better mindset.

    Just used a different calculator from IIFYM and TDEE is 1829 cals

    I will comment on that site - from the forums where people have tracked their eating and weight loss and can do the math for TDEE based on that loss - they always find that IIFYM's underestimated TDEE by decent amount.

    So just be aware.

    Now Scooby's site that allows using Katch BMR method based on a decent bodyfat % can make things more accurate - but still based on the Harris 1919 study table for TDEE that has been found outdate for more recent studies.

    It can be interesting to see the variances - and as long as it's understood it's an estimate that can help you hone in on accurate figure faster based on observation.

    Or like some - daily activity levels change enough (seasonally or otherwise) that it makes month long tests rather impossible to determine anything - so best estimate up front is very desired.
