When we eat fewer than that we usually miss out on a few essential nutrients. The idea is to have about a 1,000 calorie deficit from your BMR + your exercise and activities. So if your BMR is 1,600 and you burned an extra 800 calories with actives and workouts, your "calories out" would be at 2,400, so then you would eat 1,400 causing a 1,000 calorie deficit. The idea is your body will be forced to burn bodyfat to make up that 1,000 calories and once you reach 3,500 calories burned you have lost a pound of fat. <br /><br />If your goal is 2lbs a week, that would be 25 pounds in 3 months.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604965095078218781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938711541814004750.post-47701988427181695442010-08-10T19:08:27.230-05:002010-08-10T19:08:27.230-05:00So you would take your BMR and subtract 500-1000 f...So you would take your BMR and subtract 500-1000 from that?Abby @ I Used To Have A Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16983169830541375974noreply@blogger.com
