Hi all,
Lots of MFP threads on calculating BMR, BMI, TDEE, etc.
I believe some number crunching is important in setting up a framework/plan, and I think instead of searching through long threads, many people here, especially new comers, will benefit from a list of reliable resources.
So, I am creating a list - with your recommendations - and will post/create a group (whichever is more appropriate). I focus on non-commercial sites.
To kick off, I will include:
***BMI***
http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ (National heart, lung and blood institute)
http://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/adult_bmi/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.html (Centres for disease control and prevention)
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bmi-calculator/NU00597 (mayoclinic)
http://www.webmd.com/diet/calc-bmi-plus (WebMD)
***BMR / TDEE / Cal needs***
http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-metabolism-calculator (WebMD)
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/calorie-calculator/NU00598 (mayoclinic)
Can you help to expand the list (reliable resources only)?
Thanks!
