TDEE Calculations using Lean Mass usually being done wrong

[bigsiv]

Okay... well lets agree to disagree... it's only a couple hundreded calories anyways.

Some seem to be taking this personally, and I honestly did not intend to do this. I apologize and for the sake of things... I'll go with "I'm wrong" if it will make everyone happy. I'll calculate it my way, you guys do it your way... it is not a big deal.

I do not want to start a fight or make this anymore personal than it has.... the big bold letters is kind of like you puffing your chest up and yelling in my face (if we were face to face) and honestly, I'm not looking for confrontation. I was just looking to help some people.

We can all calculate our LBM how we want... for any who want further clarification, if you know math prof... ask them how to subtract percentages from a whole number and you'll have your answer.

Good Luck,

Bert

P.S

NO hard feelings... I understand passion... I'm the same way

Sorry but to add to this you are wrong buddy.

25% of 250 is 62.5 any way you look at it
250 - 62.5 = 187.5 any way you do it

You could also do 250 x 0.75 = 187.5

No matter but if you are gonna come and do a thread stating that people are wrong but in actual fact you were wrong then you were bound to ruffle a few feathers lol

Just spend 15 minutes researching how to subtract a percentage from a whole number... on a credible website or credible source before you come adding to this thread. I will not continue to argue who is right or wrong but I will tell you to do some research before offering an opinion.

I was doing it the same way all of you were doing it for a long time... then I had to do some math at work old school style and it it hit me.... Just saying....

I don't need a credible source I went to school aced maths got an A level in mathematics and distinction HNC Mathematics in university. It's common sense buddy you are wrong it's not a question of agreeing to disagree its a question of you being wrong!!!

Bert you're a good guy. But i cant believe you're still arguing the world is flat?? What is 25% of 100? 25, correct? It really is that simple. YOU are complicating it.

This reminds me of a popular mathematical joke:

Three men pay 30$ for a room - 10$ each.
Later the manager sends the bellboy with a 5$ refund for the group of men.
But the bellboy keeps 2$ and each man gets 1$.
So, each man paid 9.00, the bellboy kept 2.00 - where's the other dollar??
