doesn't make sense? 4'11 and 162Ibs

Hi I was wondering if someone could explain to me Why eating only 1500 cal/day is my BMR and Im still so fat at 162Ibs!!! MFP tells me to eat 1200 but its only 300 cal less than my BMR which doesn't even amount to 3500 cal to lose 1lbs

your BMR is the amount of calories you'd need if you were in a coma, so on a daily basis you are burning more than 1500 calories since you're doing stuff like eating, walking, thinking, brushing your teeth, surfing the web etc

I think you are mixing up BMR and TDEE.
