    Gosh well I'm a beginner at this but I would have thought if you weighed less your TDEE would of suggested less calories! I will be interested to see what the experts say!

    Are you sure you had your TDEE figured correctly the first time?

    You may want to recheck your TDEE. I thought I had mine calculated correctly and it turns out for the past 3 weeks I was wrong. My measurements were off which gave me TDEE = 2107; BMR = 1221 and CUT = 1791. After I recalculated and recalculated again and double checked to make sure my measurements were correct my numbers have changed a lot. TDEE = 2567; BMR = 1488 and CUT = 2182. I used Scooby's site for my calculations.

    If you don't mind, post your stats (weight, height, age, activity level you're using) and we can double-check for you. Moss11 is right, one way or another you calculated wrong (I'm guessing the first time).

    I did that myself--didn't realize that the entry fields for height weren't feet in one and inches in the other, and told it I was 5 centimeters and 6 inches tall--oops!

    It shouldn't be complicated once you get your calculations right. Like Azalais did, I was putting my height into the wrong field which gave me lower numbers compared to others in this group.
