Calories in/Calories out

Let's see if I can explain all of these numbers without screwing everything up.

My BMR (Not to be confused with a BMI), Basic Metabolic Rate, is 1524, meaning that in a coma, I would burn this many calories a day just in the normal function of my body. To figure up how many calories I need to eat to maintain my current weight and exercise level (which I estimate to be moderate), I multiply my BMR by 1.55, for a result of 2362ish.

Now, I can use these numbers to figure out how many calories I need to eat in a day to make my 2 pounds a week goal. You have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound (or ingest 3500 to gain one) so I need to burn 7000 in a week.

2362 calories x 7 days a week - 7000 calories / 7 days a week = 1362

Or, to put it simply, 2362 - 1000 = 1362

That's not a lot of calories.
