What's New?

Is there a supplement you can take to burn fat?

No, BMR is for is you laid in bed all day. Calculate TDEE by muliplying BMR by activity factor:

Harris Benedict Formula
To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:
  1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
  2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
  3. If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
  4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
  5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9
I multiplied the bmr with the Harris chart and I need to stay under 2200 calories daily. I think that's off at 44 years old in sure I need to stay under 1500 calories. Plus my bmr of 1600 I'm sure it's off too.
I can't be burning 1600 calories at rest.

I have my doubts that you are that low unless you have a really slow metabolism, but go with what you know.

That seems really, really low.

I personally never eat less than 1800 (maybe a day here or there) to avoid metabolic damage.

I guess that's were in confused. Let's say I need to stay at around 1500 cal a day in order to loose weight but I eat only 900 calories instead everyday.
Will I damage my metabolism if I eat way to few calories?

You can, yes. If you starve your body too much.

1500 calories? Are you serious? What do you weigh?

holly shit man 900 cal is not enough. I am a proponent of lower calories then allot of others but 900 us wayy wayy to low. 1500 is bottom level for a gown man IMO. unless there are other medical issues.

I always thought if as an example if someone's daily calorie intake is 1300 then in order to loose weight it's better to stay under 1300.
Are you saying someone should stay at the required calorie intake but never under?

Most people's daily required is very much over 2000 calories, maybe 3000. You talking in these little numbers is kinda scary.

What is your height and weight?

Unless you have a metabolism problem your maintenance calories is like 2300 at least.

Eat less than that, but I wouldn't ever eat less than 1500-1800 calories on average or you will really screw your body up.
