Hi All,
I'm male, 6'2", and ~89kg, with an ideal weight of ~80kg. Even though I cycle 40 minutes a day and rock climb, I put myself into the calculator as sedentary because I know the calculators are a bit sketch at estimating exercise values.
According to various different calculators my "sedentary" TDEE is 2800kcal a day and my RDI for healthy weight loss is 2300kcal a day. If I included the exercise it would be like 3200 and 2700 or something. Don't get me wrong, I love that I can eat so much, but even considering the good amount of exercise I get, this seems like a crazy high number to me.
Like, for someone who trains a couple of hours a day and wants to lose weight, sure, 2700 seems fine. But I'm nowhere near that level. So yeah, something feels funky about that number to me.
I think it might be that I'm forgetting the fact that I'm more than 6" taller than "average" men who are supposed to need 2200 a day TDEE and 1700 weight loss RDI...
But yeah, have I actually miscalculated, or is this just some unconscious cultural expectation on my part that getting in shape is supposed to require great suffering and self-starvation?
