    Question regarding diet (for beginner)

    I just started my training, and I realize that I must have a very good start, so as not to lose sight of my goal.

    So I create a diet based on my height and weight according to the guidelines obtained in this sub-section of this forum. Here is a summary of my situation.

    Height: 5 '8 "or 172.72 cm
    BF%: 29% (very high, and all around the belly) I know that most are between 12% -15%
    Age: 40
    Weight: 77 kg

    Cardio: 139 ppm in the second minute to 15 minutes (15 minutes each days to start)

    i wait one month before starting the diet to get weight

    Here is my lean body mass index (without bf%)
    Weight / size
    77kg * 29% = 22.3 kg of BF
    So I'd lean body mass index (technically) of 77 to 22.3 = 55kg or 120.36 lbs at 0% bf

    But if I take the average representation of person who trains (say) 13%
    So I'd lean body mass index (technically)
    77gk * 13% = 10 kg or 22.2
    77-10 = 67 or 147.4 lbs at 13% bf

    So my question is this. Do I have to use my weight without bf% 29% or 13% (considering that I always use the same scale for calculation of% BF)?

    BMR = 66 + (13.7 x weight in 77 kg) + (5 x height in 172,72 cm) - (6.8 x age in years 40 ) = 1702,8

    Now for the TDEE
    My current position BMR * 1,2 (for stand job) = 2543 kcalories + 500 kcalorie
    Or from my goal BMR*1,55(3 training/week) = 3139 kcalories + 500 kcalories

    since i am not in shape and my first goal is to be in shape, from that where should i start for my diet ?

    When? Should i start now ?
    From where the 1,2 or 1,55 by the BMR = TDEE ?

    Second question REST
    how many days between workouts, so that my body recovers

    Any advise are welcome!
    Regard, morningstar

    hey morningstar welcome!

    here is an easy formula for figuring ur rough maintenance calories: (LBM(lbs) x 15)

    this is lean body mass x 15

    for you at 77kg and 29%bf would look like this:

    77 x 2.2 = 169.4lbs

    169.4 x .71(% lean) = 120.27(lbs LBM)

    120.27 x 15 = 1804cals (rough maintenance)

    if ur 5' 8" and only weigh 170lbs i have a hard time picturing u with 29% body fat! i suggest you post a pic with no shirt. how did u check ur bf%??

    also it just occurred to me: are you a male or female?? if female please disregard the request for a shirtless pic.
