Is my TDEE calculation/Macro requirements done correctly?

[whackybeanz]

22 years old, 6'0", 142.4lbs
BF%: 18 (sorry, forgot to add this)

Based on http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/, I chose "No Exercise" as the exercise level, because aside from lifting 3 times a week, I'm usually doing work in front of the screen. Is that right?

As such, the calculation was:
BMR: 1513 kcal/day
TDEE: 1816 kcal/day (wow, how low)

The macro requirements is then sorted as such:
Protein: 143g
Fats: 64g
Carbs: 168g

Is my calculation anywhere near right? Looking at the TDEE I'm raising an eyebrow.

why would you choose no exercise when you clearly said you lift?

It's a confusion I got from the sticky, since it did say to factor whatever we did for the rest of the day. Should I instead use 3 x a week as the exercise level then? The numbers are as follows:

BMR: 1513 kcal/day
TDEE: 2081 kcal/day

With macro requirements:
Protein: 143g
Fats: 64g
Carbs: 234g

How are you 6'0" and 142 lbs and 18% bf. That seems like one of those is off. Either way it shouldn't affect your TDEE. Just read the sticky at the top of the forums and calculate it out yourself and go from there. That is what worked best for me. And I learned a lot more in the process.

Hmm, I am that skinny really. On a slow and long bulk currently. As for BF%, I asked around yesterday and that was the estimate I got. Thanks for the help though! I calculated it and it fit the same numbers as that I calculated from the website.

Slow and long bulk? I suggest guzzling olive oil before bed instead.

Wouldn't that be contrary to a progressive mass gain, though? Just asking.

Damn man, I'm the same height, cant imagine being 80lbs lighter. Lean bulking will take you forever, you need to eat everything in sight and get on a good routine.

The reverse applies as well. Can't imagine being 80lbs heavier! I'm on ICF currently, if that matters. As for eating everything on sight, I'm doing my best since my appetite is my biggest nemesis. Gaining like, 1lb per week. Is that insufficient?
