Does anyone know the formula for this?? Also do you believe that the formula works?? can anyone go under "their" ideal calorie count and still maintain their weight..even gain weight??

Final Diet Change! Critique One Last Time! Calculated BMR & TDEE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys I calculated evertyhing and here is what they look like.
This is the Formula I used to determine.
I hope these help, i tried to make them as clear as possible. I couldnt figure out how to calculate so i had to do some research but here it is! HOpe this helps some of you.
Harris-Benedict Formula(BMR Based on Total Bodyweight)
Men: BMR= 66 + (13.7 X wt in KG) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
Wom: BMR= 665+ ( 9.6 X wt in KG) + ( 1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)
Here is my personal equation.
Weight: 80kg
HT: 180cm
Age: 18yrs old
BMR= 66+(13.7 X 80kg)+(5 X 80cm)-(6.8 X 18) = 2247.6
BMR= 66+(1096)+(900)-(122.4) = 2247.6
Now that i calculated my BMR this is how i calculated my TDEE...
These are the formulas to get your own.
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2(little or no excercise,desk job)
Lightly Active = BMR X 1.375(light excercise/sports 1-3days wk)
Mod Active = BMR X 1.55(moderate excercise/sports 3-5 days wk)
Very Active = BMR X 1.725(hard excercise/sports 6-7 days wk)
Extr Active = BMR X 1.9(hard daily excercise/sports/marathon training,etc)
Mine would be:
2247.6 X 1.2 = 2697.12 (light activity due to my back, will change in future)
I want to have a 35% calorie deficit.
Formula for Calorie Deficit:
(.35% X TDEE)
So mine is .35 X 2697.12 = 943.95. So that is a 943.95 Calorie Deficit
Leaving my Maximum Calorie Intake at 1753.17kcals

That would only work if you have an average bf%.. If you have a lot of fat or you are VERY lean, you could end up with a number either too high or too low.
Best formula takes into account your muscle weight, and not only your bodyweight... so the key question, as always is:
Do you know your current BF%???
