New and still confused

My TDEE is 2409 and my BMR is 1559.

How many calories should I be eating?

I am 5'3, 182 lbs. and 39 years old.

I have a desk job but started doing the 30 day shred on Monday.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    My calculations say 2048. Is that seriously correct?

    It could be~ I am 5'0", 200 pds, age 51 and used "Lightly Active" at the suggestion of the girls here and my TDEE is 2360.

    My TDEE minus 15% is 2006.

    Yours really could be seriously correct!!

    Thanks :) I'm going to try 1850 to start but that still seems so high!
