bmr help

[pillboy]

hi everyone i need a bit of help i have filled out my details on a bmr calculator and it says i need 3097 cals a day which i think is quite a lot,anyway i would like to try and lose at least 2lbs a week so would i be right in thinking i need to cut back by 1000 cals a day to 2097 to reach my target?

Hi there and welcome!

it totally depends on how much you weigh and how many calories you need to maintain your weight. When i was working out how much i could have i tried a few different sites. www.myfitnesspal.co.uk is a good one!
