Which number sounds right?

I'm attempting to figure out my TDEE. I've tried 4 different calculators now and they're all giving me a completely different number, the lowest had me at 2300 the highest at 3600. The two other ones were 2550 and 2900.

I'm 26, 5"8', 210lbs and would consider myself to be between lightly active and active on a daily basis.

Can anyone help me clear this up?

    Just from thinking about my own TDEE, I bet yours is 2550. I think mine is 2200, and I'm 5'8 and 165 lbs.

    Do you know your body fat%?

    Without further info, my vote is also for 2550. I like the calculators on www.fat2fitradio.com.

    I did a measurement test, not sure how accurate it is but it estimated my body fat at 27.7%

    The last calculator gave me 2700 which is right in the middle of the spectrum of reasonable numbers so I'm going with that. I think I can safely throw out the 3600.
