    I'm trying to figure out the difference between BMR and RMR. same thing except I didn't spend the night at the place to have it done??

    my RMR is 1361. on a workout day I eat around 1500-1600 and on a nonworkout day I try to eat around 1300-1400. Also depends on how big my workout was :)

    BMR: 1190

    Daily Goal: 1230 + exercise cals


    There seems to be a ton of people eating under BMR. What's up with that?

    I think they're confused about BMR and TDEE.

    I've just really began learning about TDEE. I decided to give it a shot, so as of today my calorie goal has drastically changed.

    TDEE: 2892
    BMR: 2108
    Goal: changed from 1770 to 2300

    BMR ~ 1750
    Daily goal 2000

    Have I been reading many of the threads wrong? I thought the goal was to NEVER eat below BMR? I recently increased my calories so I could stay above this and still below maintenance. Either way, I guess I'll stick with it for at least a month and see what happens. I workout, I eat healthier than I used to so I figure what I'm doing now is better than what I was doing before.

    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.

    I think 95% of them are confused!

    Glad I finally saw this. I was worried I had everything backwards and was going to have to start starving myself (wasn't liking that idea at all!!)

    that's just one opinion, it's not "site policy" nor will you find it much elsewhere.
