    What's your TDEE?

    Thought it would be fun to see how everyone's metabolisms compare. For a bit of context, please provide your gender, age, height, weight and general activity level aside from weight training.

    Of course I'm aware that TDEE is a.moving number and no one can be 100% accurate - just provide the best answer you can using the format below:

    Male
    35yo
    6'1"
    170lb
    Moderately active job
    TDEE = 2800 (when on a break from work I find it drops to around 2450).

    6’ Tall
    139lb
    34 yr old
    Desk Job (work from home)
    Lift weight 4-5x per week
    Walk 4-5mi on lifting days, 6-7mi on rest days

    Estimated TDEE ~2600-2700

    However, I respond to over-feeding/surpluses by increasing NEAT quite a bit, so I have to add more than most

    Either walking or sitting (varies) pretty much 8-16 hours per day I work. Lift 3-5 times per week and cardio 2-3x.
    TDEE: Seems to be ~4200 lately, mostly due to work activity more than anything.
    Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.
    1/13/16: Massive hernia.
    5/10/16: Finally back to lifting, light but improving.

    Its the land of the giants in nutrition section these days. But then the shortest guy has the highest TDEE by a long shot makes me feel slightly sad what I could enjoy with a TDEE of 4200.

    Interesting that most 6ft - 6ft 2 all around the same TDEE and surprisingly not that high if the average male calories are around 2500 although fits in with the health government estimates. Seems like height plays little effect on TDEE which again is not that surprising.
