BMR TDEE Calories Confusion
I did some calculations and now I am confused: BMR=1641 and TDEE=2543. So I need to consume more than my BMR but less than my TDEE in order to lose weight. But I also workout 4-5 days a week so do I take into account those calories burned? I know I shouldn't consume less than 1200 calories NET but how do I calculate for…

Salad Dressing
Anyone have any good recipes for lower cal salad dressings? I am in LOVE with Ranch but I can't stand low-fat Ranch and regular ranch has way too many calories in it. I have tried raspberry vinagrette, but don't really like that either nor do I like any kind of Italian dressing. Any feedback would be great! Thanks!!!!
