Never heard of the BMR, but I just googled it. Came up with 1531.35, and another website said 1487. So if I burn ~1500 calories just going about my daily routine, and only burn about 1000 (at the most) at the gym, making a total of ~2500 calories a day... If I ate 2000 calories a day, it would be a waste of my time.

I'm assuming.
