I have always used 12*LBM and it has worked well for me. I do not like the formulas that use total body weight for several reasons, the main one being a person the weighs 240 LBS with 15% BF needs to consume a completely different amount of CALS than a 240 LB person with 40% BF. Go with LBM (total weight - BF) and multiply it by 12 and that is how many cals you need.
