in Health and Weight Loss
Im trying to do the formula to find out my TDEE and dont think its right.

My BMR is 1513.25.

Im 5'2
weigh 153
and 21 years old.

I took the 1513.25 and times that by 1.55 (moderate exercise)

and it gave me 2345(rounded)

That sounds like too much to me. Did I do it right if not help please & thank you!

    Sounds good if you're moderately active every day for 8 hours or more. If you're not, you might want to use a lower multiplier!

    Ohh so if i want to lose like 1.5 lbs/week i would subtract 700 from that and get 1595.

    That sounds better!
