I guess what I am thinking is that since at a given weight males would have more LBM than females(in general) - which is why the same wt/age/ht in Harris Benedict gives quite different values for males and females.

for example, if one considers 15*BW for generic maintenance intake, then for me, that is Harris Benedict BMR * 1.8 - I don't know how that makes sense.
