Bmr
I'm really having a hard time understanding it; supposedly by my lifestyle and activities, i'm "burning" 2200 cals/day and am consuming between 1200-1400, yet the wt is ssllooowly coming off. Am i calculating correctly? Any ideas? :confused:

A couple of suggestions:
Are you including sleep as an activity? That changed my BMR by 200 or 300 calories a day. Are you including everything you eat? That means milk and sugar in your coffee, supplements the little candy that you ate after lunch. I found I was eating 100 to 200 calories a day in the little things. I found that once I worked those two out I found my problem. Hope that helps! |
A couple of things to look at:

One more thought is that muscle burns more calories than fat. I don't know that the info you log into FitDay can take that into account; I think it only takes your weight and height. Therefore, it might be overestimating your calorie burn. For instance if you have a man who is 6'2" and solid muscle who weighs 215, he would be burning a lot more than a 5'5" woman who also weighs 215 but is not muscular and whose weight comes primarily from fatty tissue.
Whether that's true in your case or not it can't hurt to build your muscles. |
