Losing Weight: Counting Calories for Fat Loss

This is the second part of my losing weight series. In this one we talk about how to count your calories the right way and use this with your BMR and TDEE to healthily lose weight and get rid of fat.

To get you right started, here is a free BMR and TDEE calculator:

And this is a free database where you can look up the calories for thousands of foods:

So if i'm eating the same like my bmr and exercise more  does that mean i can loose weight weekly?

[Evilcyber]

@Chanikanist If you eat your BMR and exercise, you actually go below your BMR. Exercise burns calories too. For a really detailed explanation of everything check my website under Losing Weight > The Secret To Weight Loss.

I cannot believe how long I have been trying to educate myself about losing weight and nutrition and missed the very simple fact of keeping your caloric intake above your BMR and lower than your TDEE to avoid the unsustainable and uncomfortable trauma of eating an intake below your BMR. It all makes sense now. It's more difficult than most imagine, trying to find someone to give true knowledge instead of lies or improper information. Thank you so much!!

@devil930505 it does not matter as long as you eat below your tdee you will still loose weight but you will not get much to eat in a day if you eat bars and you will miss nutrients and vits from whole foods but you will be skinny.

I want eat below my bmr as I'm loosing just under a 1lb a week and want to boost it to 1.5-2lbs. I'm 5'8 181lbs at 23%bf. I'm eating clean and doing the famous 90 day program will it be OK or will my metabolism slow or should i base my bmr on lean mass.

cheers
