Thanks so much for the information! Really appreciate it! So that means if you want to build muscle definition you cannot have a calorie deficiency but need a calorie surplus? But what if i want a lean toned body, not high muscle definition, do i still do strength training and have a calorie deficiency?0

Apparently I am a stupid novice.
My question is this: So I have the BMR, which I have selected moderate lifestyle...keeping in mind I exercise at least 3 times a week...which gives me a daily expenditure rate. I am taking in around 1800 calories a day. When I exercise, I sometimes surpass the amount of calories "in" through the calories I burn "out" and it puts me in a deficit. Is this bad or is it the proper way to lose weight? Burn more than you take in? That is what I have heard...but is my exercise added in to the BMR calculation of moderate. Maybe I am eating too few calories. Scale not moving as dramatic as I would have thought.

Dont be so hard on yourself, its a learning process.
So you did your BMR calculations, selected Moderately Active, this gives you a TDEE number. Start by eating 20% below that and see how you go. For a start i would not eat back any calories burnt by exercise, sounds like you may be double dipping on exercise calories being burnt..
If you want some more help, friend me and we can chat there, and then i can see ure diary.0 -

I'd put step 12 at the top of that list. Too often people go weeks and months without any progress, but don't change what they are doing either.
If it isn't working, do something different.0 -
