It should be pretty simple guys.
Find your BMR out - its what your body requires to live based on your weight and no activity all day.
Knock off 200-300 from your BMR - by doing this your already in a calorie deficit
Go gym and burn more calories - even more in a calorie deficit
So for example if your BMR is 2300 a day, knock off 300 from that.
Burn another 300 from Gym or Cardio a day.
Your calorie daily intake is 1700, thus giving you a deficit of 600.
Do this daily and your cutting out 4200 cals a week.
1 pound of fat = 3,500 cals
I find it good to make a list of what I like to eat and put them in a spreadsheet, with the cals and macros. Takes a few mins from each day to update. Saves me having to guess what I am eating and my macros for the day.
I keep adding to this spreadsheet, I basically choose food from my list. I pretty much know what I am going to be eating for that day when I wake up. I like the "game" of finding low cal nice food lol low cal crisps yum
UK heads the ready made meals from MuscleFood are really good, high protein for a ready meal. Bland as hell though lol - http://www.musclefood.com
I try to keep my carbs low, protein high between 150 - 200g a day, carbs about 100-120
With MyFitnessPal its easy to track things in packages, scan bar code and thats it.
Anything else go online to get the cals and macros - http://www.caloriecount.com/calories-egg-scrambled-i21018
This works for me.
Why would you eat LESS than BMR, you need that to live and isn't sustainable long term. I think you have BMR confused with TDEE.
Side note, made reservations for Fogo de Chao Next week
Probably with just do extra cardio all week for the fukkry that is going to go down
