    I've calculated both, but I think I'm having a blonde moment. What do I do now? Lol.

    My BMR is 1733
    TDEE is 2080

    I am currently set to 1400 a day and exercise daily with occasional rest days.

    Thanks for any help!
    For a 20% deficit, subtract 346 which is 1386, so 1400 is about right. Eat that amount and don't eat back any exercise calories, you should have already figured in your activity level when you did your TDEE calculation, make sure you used your actual activity level. You can do a 10 or 15% deficit to lose at a slower pace.

    Its 20% of her TDEE, not her BMR.

    IF TDEE is 2080, she should be eating 1664......
    Yep, I messed that one up, sorry!

    No worries, just didn't want to confuse her.
