Very interesting reading :-)0

bump so it's in my list!0

Where can i get accurate LBM reading? (i'm in the UK)0

Am I correct in assuming that when you calculate TDEE or BMR you use current weight, not LBM???0

I used katch mcardle formula.0 -
so if my LBM is 125 (I cant remember exactly, but its somewhere around there) , I use that to estimate calorie intake for the day rather than my actual weight of 168??0

LBM = Weight - (Weight * Body Fat Percentage)
BMR = 370+(9.79759519 * LBM)
TDEE = BMR * multiplier
Below are the mutlipliers
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training, i.e marathon, contest etc.)
Also keep in mind there aer some other factors that could increase or decrease your caloric needs but that is why this is a starting point and not a final end all number. I actually fall between moderately active and very active.0 -
Bumping for me! Thanks for the info.0

Now I gave away my methods to my madness. But does this help explain how i reached your caloric goal and help you understand why I keep telling you more calories because of your crazy workouts?0 -
LOL!!
I got it!!0 -
Agreed0

Ok...I have a question on your findings. Is the 15.2 multiplier based on multiplying the lean body mass times that number to lose one pound per week?? Or is that for maintenance? And if I was only wanting to lose half a pound per week, would I add 250 calories to that calculation? I hope that makes sense....0

Great to know, like for some of your findings and formulas. Also important would be fueling back with a lot of quality calories0

bump!!! I need help!!!! anyone want to look at my stuff and give me a guideline....I was only eating 1200...lost 58 pounds this way BUT it has been slow. The last month I haven't lost any. I still have at least 10-15 more to go. My BF was at 29% I'm 5'2 at 142-144 pounds now and I workout 5 days a week lots of cardio and i'm now doing weights. I'm increasing my calories but not sure of the magic #. I suck at math :noway: . Please help. Thanks!!0

You should be around 1900 calories a day without eating back exercise calories (baked into the formula) or 1600 calories daily and eat back your exercise calories.0 -
