Is this why everyone here is a fucking skeleton?
All those calculators tell you to use a 1.2x multiplier for your BMR if you have a "desk job", but according to the actual science it looks like that would be below even someone who is bed ridden with cerebral palsy.
"office worker with little to no exercise" is a 1.55 multiplier here, while if you look at the calculator that is the equivalent of something like "moderately active all day, with moderate exercise 3-5 times a week"
No wonder I am not gaining at my cals, it was under estimating my TDEE by something like 600...

I got my TDEE by averaging like 5 sites that had their own calculators.. Got about ~3100 calories, which was more than I was expecting at 6'2 195

why does the science say to use bmr x 1.4-1.69 then, and the stupid ass calculators 1.2?

Are you literally fucking do the entire formula? Jesus dude just use fitnessfrog that is recommended in the sticky. The TDEE is pretty accurate and is only off by a little bit.
You should be able to guage your level of activity if you look at the health app on your iphone and see how many miles you walked. Jesus man, stop being so dumb.

that one works too but if you look at 99% of them, you get bullshit stating that you only need the 1.55x multiplier if you are a fucking construction worker.
