I am not sure how to figure it out. If anyone knows thanks!

I did it in your other post, but I'll be happy to do it again for you. 

BMR: 1626

Maintenance while working out 1-3 days per week: 1626*1.375=2235

To lose 1 lb per week: 2235-500=1735 

Your ideal calorie range if you work out 1-3 days per week is 1626-1735 calories per day to lose 1 lb per week. 

Maintenance while working out 3-5 days per week: 1626*1.55=2520

To lose 1 lb per week: 2520-500=2020

Your ideal calorie range if you workout 3-5 days per week is 1626-2020 calories per day to lose 1 lb per week.

What's bmr

Quoting JesusJunkie:

What's bmr

BMR is Basal Metabolic Rate. This is the number of calories your body needs to fuctionn and be inactive-think digestion, blood flow and organ fuctions. Once you add acvitivty of any kind, you have to consumre more in order to offset that activity and to avoid starvation mode. 

If you want one of us to do yours for you if you are counting calories, we will need your age, height,weight and the number of days per week you workout.

Just don't go below your BMR, especially after working out as you will end up going into starvation mode. You should be okay at 2200.
