EDIT: I realize now thanks to you guys that i was looking at it wrong, I was comparing MFPs calculator which uses NET Calories to others who use GROSS calories, this is why it seemed so off. Just different than what i was used to.
(I posted this in another section but i think it was the wrong category so here it is again)
I have noticed that when you plug in your stats to your settings to see the projected daily calories, MFP always gives a number way to low. If i choose the VERY ACTIVE option it was just barely high enough for a low activity person.
I mean all the other BMR and TDEE calculators on the web are disagreeing with the suggestions given here. As well as many of the members on the community forums.
This is such a dis-service to all the members, yes they will lose weight, everyone does when they don't eat enough, but this is to low and not a sustainable lifestyle.
Can we get these calculators adjusted?
I know others out there agree with me, can you post here to give your opinion also?
