I have been trying to get my head around TDEE lately because the calculators I find online all give me different numbers. One says my maintenance is 2800 calories and another says 2400. That is a massive difference when you are trying to be precise!

I am currently 210 pounds and I work in a warehouse in Texas where it is always hot and I am on my feet all day. I go to the gym four times a week too. I am trying to figure out if I should use the sedentary setting or the active setting.

Do any of you have a reliable method for finding your true maintenance? I am tempted to just eat 2500 for two weeks and see what the scale does. Does that sound like a solid plan or should I trust the math from a specific website like SailRabbit or TDEEcalculator.net?
