Ok read the info and please somebody tell me if I got this right!
5ft 3in
152.2 lbs
BMR 1322
TDEE 2046 (moderate)
Is 2046 what I'm suppose to eat daily or should I subtract 20% from this number?
I will appreciate greatly any reply:flowerforyou:
If you got that tdee figure from the chart on fat 2 fit it already has a deficit and is the number you should eat. You need to ADD 20% to the chart figure to get your actual tdee.0 -

What is the best macro nutrient ratio to be at to loose weight and fat and maintain lean body mass?
Excellent article from BB.com.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/randy46.htm
Essentially, it is done accurately on macro per unit of body mass rather than crude ratio. Clearly, you can convert that mass directed macros to ratio

Ok so I input all my numbers and this is what I got...
Harris-Benedict Formula- BMR is 1975
Katch-McArdle BMR is 1362
Height: 5'7
My CW: 258
My GW: 165
BF%: Roughly 61%(yikes I know.)
I workout 5-6 days a week for 30-45 minutes a day. So I chose moderately active which according to that website I should be eating 3108 calories. MFP has me eating roughly 1800 calories to lose 2 lbs a week. I figured since I have more than 75 lbs to lose 2 lbs is safe for now. 3000 calories seems like an awful lot. So which number do I go with? MFP or the calculations I got from the fat 2 fit website? Thanks for any help you can give me!0 -

So if I shouldn't eat below my BMR, why is this site telling me to eat 400 cal less than my BMR?0

Please help me as I'm a little confused..
Just done the calculations. My BF% is 45.1% (chubba chubba) my BMR is 1313. So if I'm on a 1200 cal plan.. this is definitely bad yes?
So how many calories should I consume? How do I know if I'm netting below when I don't know how many calories I burn at work etc?
Help me out a little please!0 -

So I'm wondering if anyone is in the same boat I'm in. I've been struggling with determining a correct daily calorie goal; one that is enough to lose weight but still eating enough to have my body burning energy normally. I looked at the numbers the calculators (TDEE, BMR) were giving me and I couldn't believe that I could eat that much food and still lose weight. So I started wearing my heart rate monitor 24 hours a day. Now I'm into day 4 and I find the calculations are off. I am actually burning about 300 calories less than my calculated TDEE. SO this has to mean also that my BMR is at least 200-300 calories less. AHH! Anyway. I mostly wanted know if anyone else has discovered errors through actually recording how many calories you burn everyday. I hope I'm not the only one.0
