Spend some time in the diet forum here. I learned SO much, and my diet was already way better than yours... Honestly, I think the diet forum here beats the snot out of pretty much any other nutrition or fitness forums out there. Do what they say there, and you'll get squared away in no time.

Went to go calculate my BMR and TDEE and I got the BMR, I just don't know which factor to use for my TDEE. I have a desk job(construction) I get out of the office probably three times a week to go check a job. I workout with weights and do 30 minutes of cardio 6 times a week. I am in the gym about 1.5 hours total each time. What factor should I use to calculate my TDEE?

All of the above. I'd start by posting your current diet there... And then have a thick skin and remember that they're there to help with no B.S.

one really, your TDEE from a calculation will be high. Use the macro's I gave you, it'll work.

I am getting a little confused. I see where you told me what macros to use in my pre/post workout, but I don't recall seeing where you told me for the whole day.
And are you saying for my TDEE that I should multiply it by 1.2? I did my BMR and I came up with 2,368.26 calories based on 6'0" and 260lbs. I don't want to be guessing at this, because that is what I have been doing. But my thinking is that if I eat my BMR calories, with the workout I do, I should be losing weight on a regular basis. But I also know the downfalls of NOT eating enough and stopping your metabolism. Just looking for some clarification.



Step 1
Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate):

Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 x weight in kg) + (5 x height in cm) - (6.8 x age in years)

Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) - (4.7 x age in years)

Remember 1 inch = 2.54cm and 2.2 lbs = 1 kg.

Step 2
Calculate your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). This will tell you the average number of calories you burn based on your BMR and your daily activity level.

Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise and a desk or still standing job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise or sports one to three times per week)
Moderately active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise or sports three to five times per week)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise or sports six to seven times per week)
Extremely active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise or sports and a physical job, or twice a day training for an athletic event such as for a marathon or intense competition)
