My BMR is 1641 and my calorie goal is 2150, today I ran and burned almost 500 calories. Right now I'm at 2211 food, net 1700. Is that ok on a regular basis? Or should I not go above BMR net?

    My understanding is you should reach your BMR as a MINIMUM so yes you would be fine :)

    You should always net above BMR ;) so you're good...

    Since I'm still hung up on my net calories, I make sure I net at least a 150 or so above my BMR every day.
