I did not watch the video, but why do you need a way to calculate your maintenance? There is so many variables that you will never be 100% accurate. I think better way would be just tracking your calories and weight a couple of weeks you'll know approximately what your maintenance and you can then adjust calories accordingly.

If you collect 6-8 weeks of data and then keep updating you will become nearly 100% accurate as long as your good at logging food. Under a month a data can be skewed but the longer you track the more accurate it becomes. and you can determine maintenance even while cutting with a little math.Originally Posted by JSim83

Why does every video need to be 10 minutes + when it can be 1 or 2 minutes? So damn annoying.
Just compute a daily average of your intake over time and a daily average of your weight over time. TDEE can be estimated directly from that.Last edited by EiFit91; 03-02-2022 at 07:17 AM.

I think because not everyone is advanced as us. I think general population would look at what your just wrote and click away and understand nothing.Originally Posted by EiFit91
Thats why... Plus its designed to be the most accurate way for over the top analytical types.

The general population will probably struggle more with tracking their calories correctly than this stuff, and I think it's more likely people will pay attention to something that's very short and sweet and click away from the 10+ minute videoOriginally Posted by pinfante

Wasn't aware that it was you in the video. Sorry for the aggressive initial response btw, I realized how it sounded and tried to quickly edit it down to a nicer version but you were too fast for me!Originally Posted by pinfante
