Tell me about it.
Thats why I'm so confused..... and still carrying too much bf
Thanks.</div>
That's because it's not only FFM that accounts for TEE. There are a ton of studies that look at how FM accounts for additional energy requiremetns as well. Albeit these all point out that the need for including FM is largely dependant on the amounts of FM to begin with.
In normal BF% subjects the need for including FM in the equation isn't as crucial. But if accuracy is your goal???
