Lifting ladies (and gents) I need some help!
Due to a change in job I am looking to start working out at home rather than at the gym and need to get some kit.

Low BMR
My BMR is only 1224 with a low activity TDEE of 1490 which gives me very little space to manouvre in order to create a deficit. I generally eat between 1200 and 1300 cals, sometimes a little more but rarely eat back my exercise cals. I work out 3 times per week for 45mins to an 1hr (mostly cardio) and ride (horseback) for…
