BMR Calculations - Caloric Deficit
Hello All,

I'm looking for some feedback and some guidance with understanding stand my BMR etc..

My Stats are:

Weight - 276
Height - 5'7
Age - 38
Sex - Male

Given those stats I have a BMR ~2100.

Based on what I have read and heard those are the calories I require to get through the day without any exercise. So as we all know the proper weigh to lose weight is to create a caloric deficit and increase the calories burned. With that said, in theory if I do no exercise all I need to do is create a caloric deficit using ~2100 as the baseline. So if I were to create a caloric deficit of 30% I would be eating ~1500 calories a day and in theory would loss weight. Do I have that correct?

Obviously I will be exercising so based on Light Activity level given my BMR that would take me to a required caloric intake of ~2900 calories per day. So do I create a caloric deficit based on ~2900? Again using 30% as the magic number that would take me to ~2030 calories per day? My question to everyone is do I have this right or am I missing something?

Your feedback and input would be appreciated.

Frustrated but still staying on track
I weighed in this morning and is only down about 1.5lbs which I'm not totally pleased with but it is in the right direction. Keep up the faith!!
