Calculate your TDEE using your current lean mass, in pounds.
LBM x 15 = TDEE.
With this figure you can then add or subtract calories depending what you're doing. A daily deficit of 500 calories should yield around 1lb a week loss.

For example, if you weigh 200lbs with a body fat of 20%, your total bf is 200 x .20 = 40. So your LBM is 200-40=160lbs.

There are many ways to calculate TDEE, they'll all give you around the same result with +/- 200Kcal. They're just estimates, use it as a guide, when you start to diet properly you'll begin to know your body and know your TDEE.
