Hello everyone,
I was hoping so get some comparisons from other users with my age/height/weight, because my numbers seem super high. I'm male, 30 years old, 6'3", ~223 lbs, and it calculates my resting calories at 3141!!! I've been calorie counting for over a year, and have had good luck losing weight at 0.5-1 lbs per week if I stay under 1800 calories/day. So I'm pretty sure if I ate 3141 calories every day I'd gain a ton of weight. Even BMR calculators (which I think also overestimate for me) say my BMR is around 2050-2200. 3141 is just ridiculous.
I'm wondering if the calculation they do assumes your "weight" is lean body mass, when in actuality (for me and I imagine most other people) is a higher percentage of fat. As a rough estimate, I think I'm around 25-30% body fat.
Anyway, if anyone close to my stats could post their thoughts, I'd appreciate it!
