Okay so my BMR is 2500 after the deficit... I would like to know an opinion, recommendation, suggestions, etc... on how my macros should be to cut down on body fat...

I do boxing, bootcamp, Jillian Michaels DVDs, yoga, etc during the week... if there is any other information that is needed to help me, please ask. :)

    I think you are confusing BMR with TDEE. Can you check here and re-evaluate? I would use Katsch-McArdle and get a BMR and TDEE estimations, and reduce TDEE by 20%.

    When I use the Harris/Benedict formula, I end up with 2500 calories...

    Would you mind explaining TDEE to me. In the simplest terms possible. I'm in the learning process...

    I do resistance training and weights with the DVDs... if that counts.

    Please read the link I attached previously. (In that link it refers to it as TEE)
