/fit/ I am confused

I plugged my info into one of those BMR calculators to find out my caloric needs and it spits out like a 3k+ number with a disclaimer at the bottom saying it overestimates for the obese but it doesn't say by how much. so how am i supposed to know how much to eat?

I am 5'11 265 pounds 20 years old with moderate exerciser, and have been eating about 1600 calories to lose weight. I know this is to few but I cant afford to go to a doctor to know for sure =/

help please

BMR calculators can only give you a rough estimate and, yes, they can overestimate how much you need.

I used to use a calculator that also relied on a bodyfat percentage, but I can't find it now.

Your best bet will be to start at the recommended amount and adjust downward over time.

Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)

And your BMR is 66+(13,7x120)+(5x180)-(6,8x20)=2474

And you need (2474 X (your activity level)) calories.

Activity factor
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. Active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or
2 X day training, marathon, football camp,
contest, etc.)

Also only posted this because the picture made me lol, oh, and you're lurking in the wrong /fit/
