How reliable is the tdee calculator? According to the site I have to eat 200g protein per day when bulking. Is that roughly correct? https://tdeecalculator.net

    Likely not very accurate, but maybe a good starting point. I recommend using an app like macrofactor. You log your intake, your weight, and your goals, and it will adjust your target calories accordingly. You can also customize the protein targets based on preset options (low vs high protein) or a custom target.

      The app doesn’t work without play store. Too bad the guy who wrote it didn’t take that into account.

      I used another phone. Looks like 200 is at the upper end of the recommendation. Meaning, tdee isn’t really too far off.

      Edit:

      It’s incredibly expensive for a nutrition tracker. 10 bucks per month? Waistline is can also track it. No recommendations within the app but tdee was alright for that
