Help needed with calculating my TDEE

[Jackstand347]

I need some help determining how many calories I burn at work. I'm a guy, 29 yr old, 5' 9" and 150 lbs and my BMR is 1637

I used the calculator in the sticky but im not sure if the categories it provides for exercise \ physical job work for my active level.

I cut grass and build fences and when cutting grass I use a walk behind mower(3.5-4 mph), edging\weedwacking with a 10lb trimmer (probably walking 2-3mph). And use a 25lb backpack leaf blower. (Walking about 3 mph)
All on flat ground

I spend equal amounts of time doing each activity. And Evey 20 minutes take a 3.5 minute break driving to the next yard.
What would you think would be a good average per hour of calories burned for this kind of work?

I have an idea but want to get other opinions

i'd say 2500, weigh yourself every morning for 2-3 weeks and go from there. if you're trying to cut, you can start a bit lower, and if you're trying to bulk, start a bit higher

just my two cents

Thanks, i should of titled the thread differently but I'm really looking to get a good average per hour while I'm at work. And from that I can calculate my TDEE. But yeah , good advice with weighting myself every morning. That's what I've been doing and taking the week average. To see where I am.

How steep are the inclines while you use the various pieces of equipment? When you build fences how long and tall are the fences, and do you also paint the fence? And how many hours do you spend building fences per day?

You should try sandblasting inside petrochemical tanks. The tanks are about the size of 4-6 tennis courts and it's about 120 degrees inside. I met about 6 guys in one of my houses to collect rent. They were all topless and just wearing jeans. I was the smallest guy in the room, and I'm not small.

The TDEE calculator that you used tells you your estimated TDEE based on your activity level.
