Is it this simple? Please read and comment.

I have been doing some research about basal metabolic rate (BMR).

Please review my example below and let me know if my logic is right.

The BMR for 190lb 5'3" 39yr old female is ~1565 calories

The BMR for 140lb 5'3" 39yr old female is ~1381 calories

If a 190lb female and begins to eat 1381 calories, will she eventually lose
enough weight to reach 140lb?

I hope my example is clear. Please let me know

Thanks
Miriam

That's the idea. However, there are variables that can alter this, such as
exercise.

pretty much, though the body will start adjusting to lower food
intakes and maybe lower the metabolism or do other tricks like start
metabolizing muscle instead of fat the further along the diet you go.

I was able to lose 50lbs at a very constant 2lbs/week by just limiting
my calories enough each day, but I figure that exercise gave me half
of this loss (I did a lot of 20-mile bikerides last spring).

What exercise is the person doing?
