    You should NEVER eat below your BMR. Your BMR is what your body needs to survive. Eating below your TDEE@maximum less 500 calories is what I would suggest. Never a deficit above 500. Tweak the numbers (less TDEE) to place yourself within a comfortable deficit where you aren't starving after your workouts.

    You can eat below BMR without negative effects. A deficit over 500 cals is fine for some people. Some people are always hungry after a workout no matter what their intake.

    Good points. I just wouldn't.

    So I used the scooby TDEE calculator and this is what I get. Do these numbers look good to go off of?

    It all depends on whether the activity level you picked is correct.

    Did i see you mention 4lbs lost in 2 weeks? And you're not obese. And you're complaining about overeating on the weekend?

    You are not obese. You are young. Frankly a good rate of weight loss will have you losing weight so slowly you ought to be here complaining that you're not seeing the scale move (yet by plugging your numbers in a trending weight app or web site you would see a downward direction).

    To me it sounds like you're cutting too much.

    Scooby, mfp, most sites use the same formulas. Only you and your body know if you're entering the correct activity levels.
