You'll want to calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure, or TDEE. Since you have very little to lose, I would subtract 250 or so calories from your calculated TDEE and start there. You don't want to create too big of a deficit with how much your looking to lose.0

BMR doesn't matter, TDEE does. Calculate that, subtract 15ish % and use that as your starting point. Hit that number for a month, see what happens, and go from there.0
