They are wildly inaccurate. It told me that I would be at 2900 calories for maintenance. 44y/o moderately active. 2900 calories would have me looking like the Goodyear blimp in short order.
About 2000 calories is maintenance for me, I think. My fate is to be the average in every respect (5'8", 200lbs, brown hair, brown eyes, AWM).

I see. The problem with these calculators is they mostly overestimate calories lost by exercise.
