This article in yesterday's New York Times has a link to a calculator created by mathematicians with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to determine your caloric intake for weight loss. I just plugged in all my info and it gave me the EXACT same recommendation as the one I got by following the instructions on the EMTWL group page. Pretty cool, and a good read.

I also got a similar number (off by like 50, but that's nothing).
Really good read, thanks for the share

Bump...It's a good read but found the simulator a little confusing. Numbers look pretty similar except the estimated activity level put me in the active range ie 1.7 and I have been using 1.5.0

Wow! I really liked that, so great.0

Have you posted this on the main message boards??
I would love to see the combacks of the regular non believers and sinics!0 -
Ashley - never mind....sorry, I went and searched and someone actually did.
And...of course there are the sinics at it big time. :grumble:0 -
It is so cool! I thought those numbers must be wack! But now I am eating so much more and finally feeling satisfied. Hooray for realistic weight loss.0
