I have an RMR of 1907, but if I count calories on WW, I'm only eating about 1200.

Anyone know if this is healthy? I don't want to mess with my metabolism for the rest of my life. I'd rather lose more slowly. Any info is appreciated.

I'd need to know more info. Like what type of job do you do for a living and about how many calories a week do you burn in the exercise department.

At first glance I would say you need to up your calories because you have a 700 calorie deficit per day assuming you do no movement whatsoever. To lose at a safe rate of 2 lbs. a week and keep that metabolism burning at a good rate you should have no more than 1000 calorie deficit per day.

Are you eating your35 extra WW points per week and your exercise points? If not, you should be.

I'm not sure about the answer to your question, but can you tell me how you know your RMR? I would assume you had it tested - but where did you go? I would like to have such a test but I'm not sure how to go about it. I saw something about this the other day on FitTV's show called Diet Doctor.
Thanks.

To get your RMR tested...

go to www.metabolicfingerprint.com and you can find a location that does testing near you.

is RMR the same as BMR (base metabolic rate)?

I use software to keep track of my food intake, including calorie count, and exercise... the software estimates my BMR to be a little more than 3000. In order to reach my weight loss goal, I am supposed to consume 1000 calories less than my BMR

So, how accurate would this software be? Is there a basic formula to figure ones BMR/RMR? I have a pretty physical job... landscape/interiorscape work. Lots of walking, and a good bit of lifting.

The diet plan I'm following suggests that in order to meet my weightloss goal, I shouldn't eat more than 1500 calories per day...

So, does this seem about right? somewhat accurate?
