Good advice, and keep in mind that calculating TDEE is complicated and often unintuitive, in particular:
"a long-term increase in activity does not directly translate into an increase in total energy expenditure (TEE) because other components of TEE may decrease in response" [0]
However, this is all happening in the margins - overconsumption of even a couple hundred extra calories a day (that's like, two to four Oreos) will result in packing on a dozen or so pounds per year, regardless of activity level.
But I'm not a scientist, so feel free to correct me.
