Accurate Calorie Limit?

[frodo]

Hey guys.. me (again), I have taken some cooking classes.. and I feel very prepared to lose the weight *yet again*.. It has been a year or more since I have been on this forum and I have a couple of questions:

1) is this http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/issa64.htm still the most accurate calorie output?
2) My results from that link are:
Adding in your activity level, we times your BMR by 1.55. This means that your approximate total calories burned each day is 4303.

So roughly 3800 calories and I should be losing 1 lb/week? (hopefully more, with the increased activity). That seems quite high to me.. although my weight is quite a bit more than it was in the past, I currently tip the scales right around 300LBS.


Thanks in advance,

Wow things are really moving in here.. already to the 3rd page

4300 seems right on. Being 300, you can most likely start with a 1000 calorie deficit and then decrease it once you lose some fat and your lbm/weight ratio gets higher (bodyfat percentage gets lower.) For example, I started out at 272 lbs. I have been eating 2600 on off days and 3100 on training days and been losing about 2-3 lbs a week and have not lost muscle.

Sorry for making it seem like a virus or something but I haven?t had any problems from this site, I was just trying to help people out and I really liked the program that?s on the site so I assumed other people would like it as well. My bad!! I suppose you could try a virus scan on the program if your that worried.
here is a link to the program so u don't have to use the site you can do a virus scan if you like. enjoy!!!
