How many calories should I eat if my BMR is 1255 and my TDEE is 1700? Right now my net calories is at 1350.

    1700 is how much you burn in a day
    you need to have a deficit of 500 calories to burn 1 lb a week
    1700-500=1200 not including exercise

    Are you very short/thin? 1255 is a rather low BMR.

    If you're already at a healthy weight...1lb a week will probably not be possible and aiming for .5lb is more realistic. Personally I wouldn't go lower than 1400 cal.

    Yes I am very short, I'm 4'11". I have my setting for .5 lbs and that's a deficit of 250 right? so I should be eating 1450 cal?
