What formula do you use?

[DAHULK]

How do you calculate the # of calories that allow you to lose 1 - 2lbs per week. Is it: your BMR - 300 to 500cal per day? Thanx!

I use 11 x bodyweight.

?

11 X Bodyweight? I think that goes over my BMR.......i'm looking to drop, any other formulas?

11/12 * bw works for most, how did u calculate your bmr?

you could always base calorie levels on lbm

I think generally 11 - 12 is good. JJFigure is right on the money...
