Level Obstacles: Lose Weight, Target Fat! (EASY!!)

Don't forget about BMR though- in many cases - including mine, TDEE - 20% is lower than my BMR, and you should always try to stay at least at BMR, no lower. As a result, I have to reduce my deficit to TDEE - 15 %.
Same dilemma here ...0 -
Awesome info, thank you!!0

I think the popular solution to this is to gradually increase your TDEE (and your consumption)...and over time, eventually you'll hopefully see a corresponding increase in your BMR.0 -
So, how would you recommend that I approach that?0

The "easiest" way to control your BMR is through your lean body mass, or muscle. If you perform exercises which build muscle, you'll increase your resting metabolic rate.
I think that you wouldn't have both a lot of fat to lose and also a narrow margin between your BMR and TDEE. If you do have little fat to lose, then a narrow deficit would serve you well.0 -

Yeah, ^this...
...well, sort of. I'm saying that by being more active (which could/shouldcertainly include strength training), you'll increase your TDEE widening the spread between it and your BMR (which will put your target calories between the two). That said, over time (assuming continued activity/strength training), your BMR may/will probably/should increase. The idea is to raise them both to give you more calories to eat, which will make it more likely to reach your nutritional needs too. It will also give you more "wiggle room" for any tweaks you may need to make further along.0 -
