I'm 36, 5'10 and 245lbs

about how many calories do i burn a day just to stay a live? I forgot what thats called or how to even look it up. I know 3500 calories is one pound of fat.

I have a garmin vivofit 2 synced with this app, still learning! Thanks

    Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).

    Lots of online "calculators" will give you an estimate, such ad this one:

    With activities such as working and walking from here to there , But no gym, ...about 2500.
    Just laying in bed all day or sitting in front of tv, about 1500.

    According to fitbit I burn 17 calories every 15 minutes while asleep. 17x4 = 68, 68x24 = 1632. That’s my BMR (how much I burn daily before adding any activity whatsoever). Apparently. :)

    No chance. That might be your TDEE and it will include activity and exercise.

    There's a BMR estimator right here on MyFitnessPal.
    It will be slightly lower than your RMR.

    If you are really interested you can go to a specialist testing facility for your RMR.
