okay, i was just wondering how BMR TDEE and MFP work if i dont workout?

just go by TDEE minus 20%? (1460calories)
or go by the MFP given numbers? (1220calories)

or just somewhere in between that?

    You absolutely will loss weight if you follow this. With weight loss it's 80% food and 20% workout.

    The only problem is that you will get 'skinny fat'. But if you do a little exercise at the same time, you'll 'tone' your body to have a nice figure.

    You know the people who look skinny and when they take of their clothes everything is hanging. That's because they're not excercising:tongue:

    I use TDEE of my goal weight. That's the same as maintenance at my goal weight. I like it because it creates a deficit and I don't need to recalculate as I lose weight.

    Two things that helped me get my head around things are:

    They are both basically just an idea where to start. They arent too far apart. Personally I would start out with the higher one an tweak from there. Give it a try for a month and see how it goes (not just on the scale take measurements and pictures.
