My stats:
28 years old
6'1"
270 lbs
BMI: 35.6

I did the calculations listed in the book and came out with RMR of 1678, calories for non lifting days: 2517 and lifting days 2852. Is it just me or does that sound like an awful lot? I started on MFP with a goal of a pound a week lost, which had me eating 2300. I didn't lose any weight, so I did the spreadsheet everyone seems to recommend and it said to lose 1.8lbs a week to eat 1847. I've been following the spreadsheet method for a few weeks before finding and reading NROLFW. I've just been reading the book and plan to start Stage 1 tonight. I just wanted to get input before changing things around.
