![]() ![]() I think that’s infinitely more useful than something that might be able to give you a somewhat accurate snapshot assuming you’re able to accurately measure all the variables.Ĭool project, I mostly just wanted to plug the nSuns calculator because I find it to be extremely valuable and, like I said, basically the only TDEE calculator you’d ever need. Since the goal is to create better eating habits over time, for a lifetime, Wouldn't it have been better if your starting point had been more accurate? When I first started using it I took a stab in the dark and within a few weeks it was very accurate. That’s fair and I guess this can be used as a starting point,īut it seems to have limited real world applicability for that exact reason. They actually need way more calories than I do despite how many hours I spend with my butt on my bike pedaling away, because I spend the rest of the day in a chair on a computer slowly dying inside. They think they only need 3000 calories to bulk, but they are on their feet doing physical labor literally all day. I see this all the time in friends who work blue collar jobs. Another person who averages 4 hours of training per week and averages 10,000 steps per day probably has the same TDEE but might not realize their extra steps burn as many calories as they do, because we don't "feel" physical activity the way we do actual exercise. So for example I could input that I train 8 hours a week and I average 5,000 steps per day. If you also incorporated an approximate "step count" on top of this, I'd think you'd be able to give people a more accurate estimate. Weekly training hours is still way better than traditional activity levels IMO because it allows you to be more specific and a touch more granular at the same time. I'm an endurance hobbyist, so I'm pretty much always in the 7 or 8 category as I have extremely low weekly training volume compared to an actual racer or competitive endurance athlete. Most athletes will fall into one of these categories pretty neatly depending on their training style. It's very simple, easy to read and interpret. So, one thing you might consider incorporating is something like "Activity Class" which one of my fitness devices (Garmin) uses to group athletes into activity levels.
