Really could use some help with my BMR test I had done.

Hi there everyone! I had the resting BMR test done and active test also..  I posted my resting BMR results on the diet and nutrition board and asked for some clarification.. I thought I would copy and paste what I posted there here also b/c I know some of you have had your BMR's tested. Also my anerobic threshold was 167.. is that bad?  I burn the most amount of fat with a heart rate of 130-140 (zone 1) and 140-153 a bit less (zone 2) and 153 - 167 the least (zone 3) and nothing above 167 - My Anerobic threshold. My V02 was way above average near 50ish.. Anyways.. here is the copy and paste about my resting portion.. please send any advice you have.. i really want feedback and **desperate** for help so i can be successful and not be regaining later. The PA and nutritionist at my office say I will get it figured out and all they offer for advice right now.   Thank you soooo much!  Here is the copy and paste: Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I had my BMR tested.  My BMR is 1681, they said this is above average for my age, weight, etc.  Figuring in "light activity" for a lifestyle which is very worse case scenerio (b/c I work as a nurse 2 days a week on a floor but that's it) and stay busy otherwise around the house, running errands, etc.. I also run 3-5 times a week 2 miles at a time and haven't done too much strength training so far, but plan to increase what I have done (free weights to circuits), the test said I could consume 2353 calories to MAINTAIN!  Now we know that CANNOT be right for a WLS patient.  It also said my Fuel burning mixture was 88% fat and 12% carbs. So the trainer that did my test told me this. 1) My 1200 calorie a day diet is too low.  See.. I am losing but its slow now that I am below my own personal goal and pretty much feel it will stop here soon.  I am 135ish, personal goal was 140.  I wanna now go down to 130 though to be honest.  I am 5'5" and smaller bone frame. 2) He says I will bring my BMR down by eating so "little" that I should strive to get my cals up near 1600 (closer to my BMR) to avoid bringing my BMR down in the future which he says for me could be devastating.. would gain weight back, now is the time to correct this.  He says the body will get used to this little caloric level over time.  He also said I process carbs terribly and fats well.. I actually already had this figured out on my own and strive for more good fats and less carbs. 3) I took this info to the PA and nutritionist at my doc's office.. they honestly didn't know what to tell me.. that I was in tune enough with my body and will "get it figured out". I already know I am eating the right foods, complex carbs, low fat dairy, lean meats (get in 100 grams a day of protein) and don't eat sugar or white refined flours, pastas breads, carbs of any kind. But at the same time I wanna keep being successful and not sabotage myself inadvertently by destroying my BMR now by eating too little?  What are your thoughts?  I paid good money to have this test done and so far nobody can assist me with it :(  Thanks so much!

Just an observation here. On your page your last two weight data points were on 11/14 and 11/27. You lost 3 pounds between these two dates, which is 13 days. Since one pound of fat is 3500 calories, you had a deficit of 10,500  calories, which averages to 800 calories per day. So, if you wanted to just maintain your current weight, at your same level of exercise/activity, you would need to be eating 800 more calories per day than you do now. That would bring you up to 2000 calories per day, which is pretty much in line with what your test showed.

Thank you.. I will keep an eye on the calorie deficit and see what happens with that... I appreciate your insight!
