If my basal metabolic rate is 3030 calories a day, but I need to eat about 2500 calories a day in order to increase my weight? does that mean I need to eat 5530 calories a day?! I was told to eat 2500 calories a day from my macronutrients but I never took my basal metabolic rate into the equation..
BMR.. Or Basal Metabolic Rate
The Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR, is your metabolic rate, or how many calories that you burn, when you are completely at rest. It is responsible for most of the calories that you burn each day.
Your BMR is the number of calories you need to ingest in order to maintain your current weight.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is very important for fitness. If you can continue your perfect BMR it is very good. If you take more than your BMR your weight will increase. If you take less than your BMR your weight will loss.
If you are a normal man with average weight and height, your basal metabolic rate is about 1500 calories/day. If you are not physically active, eating more than that will make you gain weight. Eating less will make you lose weight. This is only an estimation, though. To accurately determine your basal metabolic rate and how many calories you should eat, use a calculator.

It's a reference point of sorts that tells you how many calories you need to ingest to 'maintain' your current weight. It can be used to lose weight or gain weight by subtracting or adding calories to your daily intake, with your BMR as your reference point.
