    Goal 2150 across the board, don't eat back exercise unless I go under my BMR.

    BMR : ~1800
    TDEE: ~2400 (according to an HRM i wore for 24 hours on a day i barely did anything)

    my daily calorie goal is 1850

    i have quite a bit of muscle mass and work out with heavy weights. i tried going by MFPs calculations which had me eating 1200 calories but it was affecting my strength training and HIIT workouts. i couldnt have that because pushing through those suckers is what makes my exercise enjoyable :laugh:

    HRM estimate of calories burned is useless outside the aerobic zone where the formula's apply. Forget that number as having any meaning.

    Excuse me as I go cry in a corner. :grumble: stupidly low BMR

    Can't help them until they stall again, though at this point their brain fog has probably robbed them of reason.

    When they go into their Dr for hail falling out, they'll get some good advice to cut it out.

    BMR - 2,095
    Daily Goal - 1200

    Sometimes I am under my Net goal on the days I exercise, so I'm really trying to find a healthy balance since I am kicking *kitten* lately at the YMCA ;)

    My BMI is 1,669.
    My daily Goal is 1250, I try not to go over, but if I do I keep it under 1500.

    I was hoping for special circumstances, like someone who is 4' tall.

    It's kinda disconcerting to see so many people set their goals under their BMR, sometimes by significant margins. Which makes me hope they're mixing up BMRs with TDEEs or something.

    Wait...why is everyone eating below their metabolic rate?!?!?
    Are we creating an army of Skinny Fat people?!?!?


    TDEE is what you eat under to lose fat.
    BMR is what you eat under to lose lean mass.
