    I really appreciate your taking the time to share this! Not just results, but methods! I can't wait to get home and start a sheet of my own. Do you mind if I message you in case I have questions?

    I love data, and have been plotting weight and measurements for a couple years. Was thinking about adding calories now that I have enough data. Thanks for sharing,

    Like the judge asked, "do you have any documentation?" Be sure to save them and look at them when you're a healthy 80 year old and check out your comparatives. Will be interesting.:smile:

    I added another constant - "Burn Coeff". The reason is that I'm showing a 150% TDEE, which is not consistent with my actual lifestyle. By having a knob for exercise calories, I can dial in the appropriate TDEE coefficient.

    The good news is that it appears I've been underestimating my burn, especially for the last 2 months, by about 20%. So TDEE coeff of 135% and a Burn Coeff of 120%.

    The more parameters the better - I'm really happy to see people taking this a notch further to meet their needs!
    Just wanted to ask - have you used the BMR formula for men? The one I left in the spreadsheet was for women, and I just realized some people might have not changed that coefficient at the end (from -161 to +5). Doesn't make a big difference in relative terms, but just checking:D

    Forgot about that! It knocks the TDEE coeff down by 5% for me. Thanks for pointing that out.
