    Save yourself the trouble and just calculate your BMR, consider activity level to get your TDEE and consume 80% of that.

    My example:
    Lean Body Mass: 143.78 x 12 = 1725 BMR
    1725 x 1.6 (Activity Level) = 2760 TDEE (What I need to eat each day to maintain active lifestyle)
    2760 x .80 = 2208 calories (What I need to eat to lower body fat)

    You say this calc as if everyone has accurate body fat % estimation available....

    I know this can come off wrong and I'm not trying to be argumentative, but how about suggesting people use the tools already posted to find their BMR/TDEE or suggest a simple one like fat2fit... This calc potentially create just another series of 'how do I determine' questions.... Just a thought....
