Yeah, that makes sense. Basically, your BMR is just how many calories your body burns at rest and anything extra you eat or burn through activity changes your weight. The simple rule is still calories in vs calories out. Most people aim to eat a little less than their BMR so they can slowly lose weight without feeling starved. 200–500 calories under sounds about right depending on how aggressive you want to be.
