    I Need help creating a coloric deficit to drop weight and lower body fat

    This seems simple and probably is but I always get frustrated trying calculate my BMR. I don't need it to be exact, but a ballpark would be nice. Within 100 calories give or take.

    33, male, 6ft, 220lbs, 18% BF.

    Looking to do a 4 month drop to 190 lbs. Don't mind losing muscle along with fat, but still want to be wise about it.

    From what I have researched My BMR is any where from 1800-2200. This is where the frustration comes in. That's too big of a range for me to work from. I need to know how many calories to cut per day to create a deficite of roughly 500 calories a day/2500 a week.

    Mate, read the stickies TDEE and cutting 101.

    Whatever the match Mcardle formula gives you you should take off 10% and go from there. I suspect you will be about 2800 at a guess!
