Sport BMR question...

[wgr73]

Ok. My BMR when I was 300lbs = 2744.7cal. Well, now that I am around 195 my BMR = 2000cal (this does not seem right!)

My question is: How often do I check my BMR, and does it change? If I checked it in 2005 when I was 300lbs and never checked it again, I would be way off.

Im 6'4, 195lbs, and 23 years old.

Whoops! I forgot to add in any exercise. But I still had that question.

Well, BMR can't take into account how much fat and muscle you have. its just pure mass/weight.

when 120% or more of your ideal bodyweight, you have to adjust your weight used in the BMR calculation, so you get a more accurate BMR, not your 'keep me this fat BMR'

Lol, ok .

A side question. Is 100% Shredded wheat (the rectangle type in the yellow box) a good complex carb to eat along with a chicken brest, or should I just have an apple?

A potato would be ideal.

Ok. All I had was an apple and that shredded wheat.

i wouldn't rely on it, but shredded wheat is one of the better cold cereals out there...fiber, low sugar...but the carbs are a bit processed.
