This may be a silly question but concerning BMR...

I do not think its a good idea to eat below your BMR for long periods of time but is that net or total cals? I don't think it's a big deal if it happens occasionally but not a good long term plan. Netting below your BMR on a regular basis does not sounds like a good plan at all but what about total cals?

For example, for a BMR ~1500cals, ave total cals ~2000/day but burn ~600cals/day so that the Net is ~1400, below BMR. Ok plan? Bad idea?

    LOL! I'm glad you asked this question because I read the forums way too much and every so often I confuse myself but I'm pretty sure you should net your bmr and not just eat it.
