Weight-Loss Need Help Calculating Calorie Intake

I'm Male, 180 lbs, 5'51", 22 years old

So my BMR is: 2447.5


Then... I'm currently doing 3 days/week of HIIT (45-60 Minutes of Spinning/Cycling Class). I'm also lifting weights (both heavy with few reps and many reps with good weight) 4-5 times/week (60-90 Minutes). Is this considered moderately active or very active?

I'll be conservative and go with moderately active so I have to do this: Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55

2447.5 x 1.55 = 3793.625


Now that's a lot of calories isn't it to maintain weight?

So if I want to shave of 20% of my calories it'd be around 760 calories. Leaving me with an intake of 3035 calories. Does this sound right? To me it sounds like way too many calories.

Thanks in advanced for any help.

your 5'5 and 180 cals...yea sounds a bit high to me too...but i'm not figuring in the excersize either....I dont' know, maybe someone else will..i'm sorry!
 
how old are you??? I just figured 25 would be close so i put that in, but i got a bmr of 1842.

OH, and my 2 cents is that your very active, which is 1.75
 
I'm 22...

But putting me under very active would shoot my calorie intake a whole lot... which I think it's pretty excessive... I dont know
 
Thx ;) ........
