I am 6'2 345lbs 25 years old with a moderate active job. no medical history, i did the math from the formula
Men BMR = 66 + (6.3 x Body Weight in lbs) + (12.9 x Height in inches) - (6.8 x age)
66+2173+954-179=3014
Moderate Activity = 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) i actually did it inbetween light and moderate 1.45
3014*1.45=4370-1000 for a 2lb loss per week.= 3370 (holy s***)

Is this an accurate intake amount? If so how does one eat so much healthy, eating healthy and feeling fine during the day i reach around 2500-3k and feel fine. I can actually take some stuff out of that and go down to 2250-2700. If you have any research info to add please add a link so i can read the info.
