Question: how many calories under bmr to lose weight?
Answer: Most dieticians recommend eating a deficit of anywhere between 500-1,000 calories a day. The goal is not to lose weight the fastest — it's to be consistent. Think turtle over rabbit when losing weight. So looking at a TDEE of 2,200, if you aimed for 1,700 calories per day, you'd be eating at a 500 calorie deficient.
