    If that is in fact your BMR, I wouldn't advise eating below it - BMR is your basal metabolic rate, or the amount of calories your body needs to just exist, what they'd feed ya in a hospital if you were in a coma.

    Since you're not in a coma, :tongue: your body deserves more fuel.

    Have a look at this topic - it explains BMR and TDEE and how to find the right number of calories you should be eating in order to lose the fat. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/974889-in-place-of-a-road-map-short-n-sweet
