Question, where do I find my active calories on Up app OR in general. Trying to do the A+B-C=D calculation- from
theprez98 user on MFP who lost lots of weight with this calculation.
(A+B)-C=D
A = Active calories; those burned from doing physical activities.
B = Basal metabolic rate, or BMR; amount of energy expended while at rest.
C = Consumed calories; counted from scanning everything you eat.
D = Deficit of calories.
His equation:
[Active calories (1,600) + BMR (2,400)] - Calories consumed (1,400) = Deficit (2,600)
I'm thinking my active calories for yesterday are 440
