Hello!

I recently calculated my BMR and TDEE. I have switched my macros to the 40/30/30 ratio before with much success. I am returning to that ratio in addition to using my TDEE -15% as my calorie goal. My HMR was my boss for every workout and determined how much I could eat that day. I haven't had a loss in several months and am excited to move away from that and towards something based on science. I will still use my HMR, but now purely for heart rate and not for calories burned.

I have also (slowly) been switching to clean eating and cutting out processed foods as much as I can. I would LOVE some new friends on MFP that are eating clean with the 40/30/30 ratio. Here are my stats:

BMR: 1709.7
TDEE: 2650
TDEE -15%: 2252

I workout 3-4 times a week doing a group class with a trainer. It is 50 minutes long including a warm-up and "big finish". I have learned to love burpees and TRX ropes! On off days, I do some type of cardio (walking, running, elliptical, stairmaster for at least 30 minutes.) I feel stronger and more sculpted, but still have a lot of fat to lose. I would LOVE to see your diaries and be a part of your support team! :)
