Hello, I am new to this whole thing and could really use some advice, I am a 31 year old male, I weigh about 260lbs, I did the Scoobys calculator and my results were BMR 2351, TDEE 4466, based on my goal in step 6 3350.

I'm a Chef and work about 12-16 hours a day on my feet. I would like to lose around 60-70 lbs. Any advice you give me on how to achieve this goal would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
jbond226

    In order to get that TDEE, you had to enter 7-21 hours / week of strenuous exercise/work. Did you mean to do that? That is professional athlete level of exercise every day.

    I'm literally running and moving all day everyday for 12-16 hours. plus lifting massive bags and sacks of potatoes and vegetables. as well as I've started working out going to the gym and at home doing strength and free weight exercising

    That's certainly a lot of work and burns a lot of calories. So, I would start by logging all the food you eat and your weight and see where it's going. Don't change anything yet, just log your food for 2 weeks and weigh yourself every day. Then we can make adjustments from there.

    This should be fun. You are starting about where I did but you work much harder. Hopefully small adjustments will yield big results. And the strength / free weight work will pay huge dividends in keeping as much muscle as you can as you lose weight. You will be a hulking adonis in no time.
