Assuming that a degree is about 10%, you could be off by 15-20% in either direction just due to normal hormonal fluctation.
Perfect advice.

Good stuff but I have a question:

At one point in the article he implies that some people may use a 15 calorie per pound figure to maintain.

Thats 5300 calories for me.

The other complicated procedure I did with the long equation from one of the stickies on this board told me 3300.

The equation I used from my "Nutrition for dummies" book told me 4700.

Now im confused but Im not altering my diet because of it or anything as im already under all of that. Would someone be willing to help me figure out my maintenance? I'm 5'11, 350 pounds, decent shape(can run 5 miles in 50 minutes or less).

Nobody can help you. All those equations are estimates. The only way outside of getting hooked up to all sorts of neat machinery is to track your stats. If you're maintaining your weigh and inches on 4000ish, it's safe to assume that that's your maintenance.

Plus, I wouldn't really sweat it too much, as your maintenance is a moving target. People spend so much time worrying about calculating this number exactly.... a number that is most definitely not going to be the same a couple of months from now if you're doing things right and consistently.

In general, the bigger you are, the more off those equations are going to be.... they'll generally overestimate your maintenance...... but it all depends, really.

Should this thread be a sticky, you think?

Nevermind, duh... it already is.

Well it's a bump for good measure.
