For those interested you should check out Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle e-book.
It pretty much answers all the questions raised in this thread.
Ie body types, BMRs, how weight scales and BMIs are misleading, how many meals a day one should eat, exercise etc.
I highly recommend it for self-education. And it doesn't need to be followed to the tee, unless you're planning to get really ripped.
I'm 6'2", was 230 lbs, now floating around 205, thanks to that book. I could probably drop another 10 lbs, but I like my beer and lack the "bodybuilder" ambition.
The book's language is somewhat poor since Venuto obviously isn't a communications major, but it'll give you all the basic info to achieve great results.
