I don't see where to calculate TDEE on this site. I only see the BMR and BMI.

So I just wonder should I be netting between BMR and TDEE or is it food intake total before exercise.

Thanks for post!

Hold protein and cals constant and it really doesn't matter if you eat high or low carb for fat loss or weight loss

Ok, break it down for my brain to understand.
Currently, MFP has me set up to lose one pound a week at a base of 1560 cals a day. (sed. job, I use a HRM and add cals when I work out) I suppose I keep at that rate of a pound a week, I don't weigh in every week.
My BMR is 1646.
My TDEE with moderate (3-5 days of excercise) is estimated 2586.

I'm 5'8, 190 pounds, and 27 years old. I have a large amount of body fat to lose while also building muscle.

Now I'm lost as to what you're suggesting. Am I to be consuming between 1646 and 2586?

If you take 500 from your TDEE (2580) you should lose 1 lb a week (3500 calorie deficit). You do not eat back your exercise calories because they are taken into account with TDEE.

Edited for a very important missing "not"

Your calories should be (IMO) around your BMR (1646) as you're trying to lose weight but you can't overdo it by going too much under because you will lose some muscle mass you already have. So that's the basics of it but you really need to find that sweet spot where you're still losing weight but not losing strength/recovery at the gym - because your BMR is an estimation everyone has a different metabolism.
