I calculated my BMR and the number is 1681 (195 lbs, Female, 30 years of age). I saw a post on training.fitness.com that indicates I should multiply my BMR by 1.6 if I am moderately active to determine my daily maintenance calories.
My daily maintenance calories comes out to be 2690.
Since I am eating 1500 per day I have a daily calorie deficit 1190 per day (2690 - 1500) = 1190. Also I am eating 1500 calories 6 days per week. 1190 times 6 is 7140 so I should lose about 2 lbs per week.
The 7th day is a problem for me. Previously I have been using the whole day as a "cheat day" not one cheat meal. I manage to consume so many thousands of calories on my cheat day and they are not quality calories either. So starting now my cheat day will be a cheat meal and it will be on Fri. afternoon or evening.
