TDEE: scooby or fitbit?
Hi everyone, I'm back again with (yet) another question about numbers! :) So I calculated my TDEE numbers on the Scooby website and I got 1715 for sedentary, 1965 for lightly active, 2215 for moderate and 2465 strenuous (these are full tdee). I decided I was somewhere between light and moderately active because I exercise…

Stationary bike: need help with effort level and calories!

I've been stuck at a too low calorie limit for the past 2…

FitBit opinions: calories burned while being inactive?
Hi everyone! I am about to purchase a FitBit One. I know there are literally tons of topics about it, but I am so curious. Prepare for some dumb questions! If I understand correctly, it calculates your BMR based on your height age and so on and adds it automatically to the calories burned... and, in order to lose weight,…

Yet another activity level question!
Hi, I'm new!!! A quick question on activity level, I'm trying to figure out TDEE and such :) 45 minutes of stationary bike at a moderate pace, 5 days a week, sometimes 6. The rest of the time I am pretty sedentary (desk job) except for some walks, housework (cleaning, ironing, cooking). I've been eating about 1,200 with…
