Is it possible that my TDEE is higher than I think? I've been trying to cut for a while, but it's been a real struggle (constantly thinking about food, and extremely lethargic throughout the day). I can't get an accurate read from tracking it in Excel, because I keep slipping up and binge eating.

​

I was wondering if it was possible that my TDEE is high enough that under eating has led to binge eating, but based on everything I've read it seems very unlikely.

​

For reference, I've been trying to cut at 2,500 calories. I'm a 6'3 190 lb. guy, I do nSuns 5 days a week, run 18-20 miles on the weekend, and usually get a little over 20,000 steps a day.

​

The issue is, for my TDEE to be high enough to explain this, calculators have me between a hard laborer, and professional athlete, but I have a desk job. Is the likelier explanation that I'm just weak willed?
