Hi everyone. I have a simple question about online TDEE calculators.
Let's say I'm a male that weighs 70kg, 23 years old and has moderate activity according to the calculator's standards. Most calculators will give me an estimation of 2600kcal of daily energy expenditure. Now, let's say I'm using MyFitnessPal to track calorie intake, and aim to maintain my weight. That would mean I have to eat 2600kcal.
I also train 3x/week in the gym and I log my exercise on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. According to MyFitnessPal I spend about 300kcal during this exercise.
Does this mean that on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have to consume 2900kcal to maintain my weight?
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Thanks in advance.
