Who goes by the BMR?

rocketpopsicles

My BMR x 1.2 = 2089.55

THERE IS NO WAY I can eat that BEFORE exercise cals are added..

I hit 1500-1800 a day even with exercise all day..


Do you think your bmr cals are important to hit?

normally the more weight you have to lose the bigger the deflict you can get away with, but I try to eat more than my bmr, but I have had days where I haven't and i have never felt any different, I say don't think so much into it and eat how many calories is comfortable for you and if you stop losing weight then adjust them down or sometimes even up

I do, and I get very close to hitting it every day (even go over sometimes).

Before exercise, my BMR is just over 2000 calories/day. x1.2 = 2400.

I try to eat about 1980/day right now, after exercise. Hit it every day, no problem.

BMR x 1.2 is your sedentary maintenance calories, not dropping weight calories.

I eat under my BMR very comfortably. I think it is too high.

I try to hit it. Mine is 1800, and I get anywhere from 1600 - 1800 a day.

I eat about 500 under my BMR, even when I exercise. I may be eating too low, but I'll have to wait and see the effect it has on me.

I would eat more... you want to be sure you're getting enough energy, and protein especially! Otherwise, the weight you're losing is both muscle and fat, which is obviously not desirable.
