Weigh in

So this week (the last 7 days) saw me go from

255lbs to 248.4lbs, a total loss of 6.6lbs.

I have achieved this by working out 3 times (Arms Day, Core Day and Leg Day) and trying to increase my walking.

I have restricted to a 900 - 1000 cal deficit over my BMR everyday.

Your BMR / TDEE is the total amount of energy it takes for your body to function each day. So if my intake was suggested as 1650 on my BMR based on my height/weight and activity level, after I have completed that activity, I need to try and "Eat" the calories burned through exercise back, lets be honest, thats never going to happen.

It suggests in some cases I should be eating 2500+ calories a day,

I am managing between 900 and 1500, intake per day depending on my level of activity, my average deficit is around 900 cals under the suggested on My Net Diary.
