It really depends imho, i have a brother and sister who ate about the same as me as kids, but it was pretty obvious my bmr was much lower than theirs as I simply gained weight even eating below 1500 calories a day while they maintained less than 15% body fat, in my case dieting did little to nothing, however i started an intense cardio regimen and i was netting about 100-300 calories a day not including my BMR, and I feel fine (although somewhat diminshed when doing heavy calisthenics) and have shed about 20 pounds doing this, I know people who will swear by it being unhealthy, but staying overweight was definitely worse health wise.0

Depends on your goals, calorie limits.. etc.
This topic has lots of conflicting answers.0 -
Okay, I'm new I know. I track my cals on my fuelband and since I've been adding the calories in to MFP no weight loss! Someone else told me to track it, but only mark 1 calorie. This way you can see how active you are and not use them; otherwise, add them and don't eat.0
