Ok. BMR is what you need to survive in a coma. Bare minimum. Add to that walking around your house your job doing whatever (nonexercise thermogenesis or NEAT) the effort to digest food (don't remember name don't wanna look it up) and your exercise you get total daily energy expenditure or TDEE. get your deficit from your tdee and never below bmr. I'm on my phone so I can't do links but there are great ones earlier in this thread. The mfp unofficial faq group is excellent and you'll find every question you have answered. No need to re explain here.
Google fat to fit radio and put your numbers in to get bmr tdee and calories for maintenance and weight loss. Google Steve troutman. Also an mfp member. Brilliant. Read his nutrition 101. Lastly Google Lyle MacDonald.
Good luck! There is so much info out there. It really is fascinating.0 -
