Weight loss
My BMR is 3169 Calories
I only need to consume at leats 500~1000(maximum) of calories inorder to loose weight right?
Which means, 3169-500~1000= 2669~2169 Cals are burned per day right?
Basically, i need to consume about 500~1000~1200(Calories varies)
Calories/day to loose weight.
However, this does not combined with my excercise yet which will burn even more calories.
The question is, is this make sense or scientifically correct? Please provide my any additonal comments and tips.
Thank in advance.

Okay, that sounds more like it. If you want to lose weight, you need to subtract calories from that.
1 pound equals 3500 calories, so in order to lose 1 pound per week, you'd need to subtract 500 calories/day, which means you'd eat 2669 calories/day instead of 3169.
Or you can subtract 250 calories and use up 250 calories, which is probably easier. So you'd eat 2919 calories and exercise enough to use up 250 calories.
If you want to lose 2 pounds/week you can subtract 500 calories/day and use up 500 calories for a total of 1000 calories/day.
You can do it in different combinations, but don't go below 1200 calories/day and make sure you keep your diet healthy, with about 30% of it protein, 30% fat and the rest healthy carbs.
Keep a food diary so you know exactly what you're eating and drinking, as well as an exercise diary so you know how many calories you're using through exercise and your daily activities. We have excellent food and exercise trackers here on MedHelp.
Hope this helps get you started and that you'll keep posting your progress.

I'm sorry, 3169 is not my BMR, 3169 is the amount of calories i need to maintain my weight each day.
19 years old , 181cm , 101.5 kgs
Multiple by my activity level( how active)
It came out as 3168 Calories perday that need to be consumed to maintain my weight ( 101.5kgs)

How did you come up with a BMR of 3169? That's awfully high.
And no, that doesn't mean you only have to eat 500 - 1000 calories.
How old are you?
A grown woman should never go below 1200 calories. If you're a teenager, you will need more calories, with adquate nutrients to insure proper development of your body.
