Hello, everyone!

I am a newbie here and will be starting this journey tomorrow! I am 5’9”, 285lbs. My TDEE is 2884 and my BMR is 2097.

I know that on fasting days I need to be eating less than 2884 but what exactly is the BMR for??

Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome:

For information. It is not necessary to know your BMR to do 5:2.

I don’t know your age or physical activity level, but your TDEE seems quite high. Here is some information on TDEE: http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/tdee-for-the-curious-or-why-dont-i-lose-weight-faster/

Good Luck!

You don’t want to go below your BMR in daily calories. Eat between 2097 and 2884 calories a day.

Your TDEE seems reasonable to me if you are in your 40s and even lightly active.
