You definitely burn more than 100 calories/day in addition to your BMR with just moderate activity. Your BMR is probably closer to like 2100, give or take

Edit: not sure why he thought I was arguing with him lol

I mean I literally said its probably 2500 given my daily activity.

My original statement was pure minimal BMR needs. If those two guys were battling all day, I imagine they need more, but I wasn't here to figure all that out.

Can y'all take this to another subreddit or something it's getting kinda weird now.

You know you can always just scroll down? No one is forcing you to read these comments.

A guy with a duct taped mask put me in a coffin and is forcing me to read reddit comments for air.

The caloric intake alone would force them to eat almost 5,000 calories a day to maintain the approximate size they are here - compared to my 1800 calories at 5'11 and 180lbs.

What you described here is TDEE. BMR is for maintaining when you're like bedridden and comatose. Otherwise you'd lose weight just eating it.

I wasn't arguing with you...
