According to the BMR calculator + my activity level (above average 2 weeks counting) my calorie intake to maintain my weight is 3660. I don't eat anywhere near this amount of calories so by dieting I wouldn't be able to reach anywhere near that. Is there a more accurate way of checking my calorie needs?

What are you wanting to do? Like what is your goal? Do you want to lose weight? or what?

yeah lose weight

Just curious, how much do you weigh and how active are you a week?

Up to date pictures of me. I'm 5'9" 209lbs. According to that fat scanner thing I'm 27% body fat. I'm trying to lose fat but retain muscle. Now I exercised at Bally's every morning for 2 weeks being soaked in sweat and fighting for breathe doing cardio and weight training alternatively. Now today, I'm rethinking my strategy of how to approach my weight loss. I was eating only 1900 calories for 2 weeks until I realized how much of a deficit I'm in. I burn about 400 calories at the gym so I'm unsure if I should diet or eat the amount it takes to maintain my body weight and just work it off.
