How reliable is the tdee calculator? According to the site I have to eat 200g protein per day when bulking. Is that roughly correct? https://tdeecalculator.net

These kinds of calculators are useful for getting a starting point for your TDEE, but protein intake is simple enough to do on your own. 1g/lb of body mass is a good time of thumb, and will already overestimate your protein needs in the greater majority of cases. If you want to be extra certain that you're getting enough, you can always eat more. The only negative effect of doing so will be on your wallet.
