    BMR: 1839.5
    Calorie Goal: 1200

    thinking of dropping it down to 1000 and relying on burning calories from exercise to determine the rest of what I eat... hum hum hum

    keep it at 1200 minimum, or else you may actually start gaining weight. you can also cause significant health problems that way...

    Why is everyone eating below their BMR? I don't get it.

    Wait...why is everyone eating below their metabolic rate?!?!?
    Are we creating an army of Skinny Fat people?!?!?


    TDEE is what you eat under to lose fat.
    BMR is what you eat under to lose lean mass.

    I think 95% of them are confused!

    Well that depends on results really.

    Skinny fat - the newfound "diet" word.....

    BMR 1500
    Caloric goal 1940 (to lose 0.5lbs/week) this works out to be about a net of 1700.

    PS: you should be netting at least your BMR or higher if you have less than 50lbs to lose.

    I'm trying to figure out the difference between BMR and RMR. same thing except I didn't spend the night at the place to have it done??

    my RMR is 1361. on a workout day I eat around 1500-1600 and on a nonworkout day I try to eat around 1300-1400. Also depends on how big my workout was :)

    BMR: 1190

    Daily Goal: 1230 + exercise cals


    There seems to be a ton of people eating under BMR. What's up with that?

    I think they're confused about BMR and TDEE.

    TDEE: 2892
    BMR: 2108
    Goal: changed from 1770 to 2300

    BMR ~ 1750
    Daily goal 2000

    Have I been reading many of the threads wrong? I thought the goal was to NEVER eat below BMR? I recently increased my calories so I could stay above this and still below maintenance. Either way, I guess I'll stick with it for at least a month and see what happens. I workout, I eat healthier than I used to so I figure what I'm doing now is better than what I was doing before.

    TDEE is what you eat under to lose fat.

    Glad I finally saw this. I was worried I had everything backwards and was going to have to start starving myself (wasn't liking that idea at all!!)

    that's just one opinion, it's not "site policy" nor will you find it much elsewhere.
