Hey everyone - I hope this is allowed as I didn't see anything against it in the rules. I used to lurk on this forum a lot back in the day and am hoping to give back a bit to any current users

I think most people on here know that pretty much all TDEE calculators online work by formulas to guestimate your TDEE based on variables like weight, sex, height activity level etc. I found this super frustrating for dieting because my weight and activity would change over time and i'd spend a week or more at a caloric intake goal that was completely off. I'm in medical school and start residency next year so I go through cycles where im working 70-90 hours in the week and barely get time to lift or bike and then off-service weeks where i bike and lift 6-7 days/week.

Eventually i found a few spreadsheets online to get TDEE calculations based on how many calories i ate and how my weight changed which was a huge gamechanger. I just had to log my weight and calories in MFP and the excel sheet and I'd know exactly how many calories i needed to eat each day on avg.

This brings us to last month when i got too lazy to enter data into an excel sheet. I made a nice online adaptive TDEE calculator and calorie/weight tracking system inspired by the spreadsheets I was using this past year (https://calorietracker.io). Its completely free webapp that syncs nicely with myfitnesspal (spend a long time on this since they dont have an api lol) but also direct logging of calories and weight. you can also import logs from a csv if you have one. After you have ~10 or so logs entered it gives u a super accurate TDEE that changes as your body and habits change. for me personally i just set up the auto sync with MFP the site stays up to date for me.

as you can see theres other features too like weekly summaries and what not. id love to get some beta testers/users for feedback so i can figure out where to take this project from here since it already fulfills all my personal needs.

i sincerely hope i am not breaking any rules by posting this. i do not monetize any part of this and just keep it running on donations. i would be extremely grateful for anyone to try it and share their thoughts
