I’m hoping someone can clarify something for me. I’m seeing a significant difference between two concepts related to the calories needed to maintain weight.
I use the ‘MyNetDiary’ app to track my calories. According to the app, my BMR is 2110, which matches other online calculators I’ve used. However, when it comes to my Weight Maintenance Calories, the app shows 3,150, which is vastly different from what I get using other online calculators for my TDEE.
Upon further investigation, it seems the app uses a formula for Estimated Energy Requirement (ERR), while the online calculator I found gives me a figure around 2,532.
Can anyone shed light on the discrepancy between these numbers?
