SonicaBE

Hello all,

I discovered this website that calculated my TDEE, BMR and RMR. I need help though trying togure out exactly how many calories I should be eating cause I think i dont eat enough and my body holds onto everything. PLease help me! I have had a hard time dropping the weight..MFP calculates me at 1450 cal per day

Here are my figures:

TDEE 2514
BMR 1622
RMR 1605

I understand that I should never eat below my RMR..right? I excersise atleast 30-45 mins 6 days a week and burn between 400-500 cal.

I would appreciate any help....thank you from the bottom of my heart...

Sorry no one responded.
That BMR and RMR figures must be reversed, Basal MR is lower than Resting MR, and usually a whole lot more than 17 calories.

If you want to minimize risk of losing muscle mass, don't eat below BMR on regular basis. It's a nice line to draw in the sand as a goal to stay above on avg when you look at the week.

You burn 400-500 calories in 30-45 min? 6 days a week.
That would put you at Moderately Active rounded down for 4.5 hrs weekly.
So indeed 2500.

Then take 20% deficit if you have a lot to lose. So 2000 calorie daily goal whether you exercise or not. If you miss a workout, skip 250 calories that day.
