I discovered TDEE calculators a few months ago. I did not want to lose weight, but I did want to stop bingeing and maintain my weight. This led to an unhealthy obsession with calories, and now I am in treatment for an eating disorder. For the record, my eating disorder was never about losing more weight--it was just an obsession with staying the exact same weight.
I am a competitive swimmer, so I am quite active. I used a bunch of TDEE calculators to figure out how much I should be eating. I didn't lie in any of the input: I put in my exact height, weight, age, sex, and level of activity (usually the highest level available on the calcultor). My TDEE was calculated to be about 2350. However, I struggled with this and I still wanted to binge. My dietician upped my calorie intake to 2800 per day. At first it was really hard to accept this, because all my calculations put me at around 2350. I was so worried I would gain a bunch of weight. Well, long story short I didn't. I am still the exact same weight as when I started, just more muscular.
I'm not sure if this post really has a point, except that everyone is different and TDEE calculators might not always be the most accurate.
