What's my GDA to lose weight?
I'm 5 feet 11 and I weight 189 pounds, I'm trying to lose some weight to reach 176 pounds. My calculated GDA (with online tools) should be 2800 Kcal/per day. My question is: if I lower this value to 2000 Kcal/day, am I going to lose weight?
Edit: Regarding to my diet I just cut off all the sweet things, fuzzy drinks and everything that could contain a lot of fat including dairy foods and I've been exercising since the beginning. There's not a precise reason why I want to lose weight, I just want to stay well with myself. I chose 176 pounds because I thought that was my fit-weight

An easy rule of thumb for weightloss is to just put a 0 after your weight. If you weigh 189 pounds, eat 1890 calories to lose weight. You'll lose weight eating 2000 calories too, though.
In broad brush terms one pound of weight equates to 3500 calories. So, to lose two pounds per week, you need to cut out 7000 calories or 1000 calories per day. This can be through increased exercise or through dieting.
My personal rule of thumb is that food intake controls your weight, exercise controls whether that weight is fat or muscle. So if you aren't losing weight, you are eating to much.
