I don't understand the fundamental caloric goal here.
Body Weight * 10 = Resting Metabolic Weight (for me 1580)
RMR * 20% = Daily Activity Requirements (for me this is 316 I believe, unless I misinterpreted)
You're looking at it from a very complicated point of view. At the end of the day, what you need to know is that if you take in fewer calories than you put out, you'll lose weight. try and make those calories healthy calories; the quickest way to improve your overall health is to try and cut out saturated and trans fats, but NOT fats altogether Visit Our Official Webpage
You need fats for a bunch of thing. In general, if you're not currently GAINING weight (aka you've reached a 'equilibrium') then cutting out 500 calories a day will allow you to lose 1-2 pounds a week, which is healthy. Don't go below 1500 calories, though! From there you simply won't have enough energy to keep going and it won't be at all sustainable.
