I need help with my math.

Hello!

So a little about me I weigh 267 and I'm 5'6. I'm trying to lose weight and become healthy. I'm having a little bit of a confusion though and I'm needing some help.

I recently had my RMR checked. I tested at 2,214 so my metabolism is in the higher end of Normal.
My BMI is 43.1 yes I know it's awful. but I'm doing all this to change it.

Well I was given this information I'm about to tell you to LOSE weight

I was told to eat 2,379 calories a day-
Given a sedentary life style I burn 665calories a day
A RMR of 2,214
I wasn't told to exercise at this point (they just want me to focus on eating right)
I"m going to exercise anyways though because there isn't any harm in it.

Anyways, can someone explain how I"m going to lose weight eating more then my RMR ? I know if I eat less then my RMR I can go in to "starvation" mode. So I understand but that's a lot of calories to be eating really. I just don't understand how someone losses weight eating that much UNLESS MY MATH IS CORRECT.

So this is the situation....I burn 2,214(RMR)
I burn 665(SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE)
I burn 600(EXERCISE) 5 DAYS A WEEK
TOTAL BURNED DAILY 5 DAYS A WEEK: 3,479 (CALORIES BURNED DAILY FOR 5 DAYS)

Then each of those days I consume...2,379(CALORIES CONSUMED DAILY)

SO- 3,479calories burned daily I eat back 2379 which would = 1100 calories burned 5 days a week
IN RETURN = 5500 calories burned in those 5 days.

THEN: on the other two days a week i burn 2214 (RMR)
i burn 665 (LIFESTYLE SEDENTARY)
i burn 0(exercise)
TOTAL BURNED DAILY 2 DAYS A WEEK: 2879

THEN: each of those days I consume (2379)

WHICH WOULD = 500 calories burned for two weekend days


SO i WOULD BURN 1000 CALORIES ON A TWO DAY WEEKEND
& I WOULD ALSO BURN 5500 CALORIES IN THE OTHER 5 DAYS
= A TOTAL OF 6,500 BURNED WEEKLY ALMOST 2 POUNDS LOST A WEEK.




SOOOOO can somebody tell me if my math is correct please I know it's a lot of thinking for someone to actually do for someone else but It would really mean so much!! Thank you to anyone who helps!
