I Got an RMR Test and Now I’m Confused…

Hi,

Been a little while since I posted but I decided to get an RMR test done to see what I’m burning at rest since I’m tired of guessing what my BMR is or if it’s slower or faster. I have PCOS and metabolic syndrome which can affect BMR.

And well, it’s higher than I expected. 2,292 at rest, and with my daily work schedule (I am on my feet 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and walk about 6,000 steps a day) I got a result of 3,100 calories. I’ve been trying to eat 1,800-1,900 and losing slowly but I am constantly hungry. Most days I end up around 2,200-2,300 calories and I feel satiated there. Am I undereating by aiming for 1,800-1,900? Should I trial aiming for 2,200 and see how it goes? Reference: 27 F, 5’8”, currently 336 lbs. HW of 383 lbs.

Anyone else get an RMR done while SMO? What were your results and how did you apply them to your weight loss?
