Single formula vs multi-formula comparison

Cronometer is an excellent nutrient tracker, but its TDEE estimate uses a single formula with no comparison. FreeTDEE runs 6+ formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor, Katch-McArdle, Harris-Benedict, and more) so you see the range and can pick the most appropriate one for your body composition.

For body fat-aware users

If you know your body fat percentage, the Katch-McArdle formula is more accurate because it accounts for lean mass. FreeTDEE includes it — Cronometer does not support it at all.
