    thank you, easfal, I didn't see the "white bow", but now I'm going to look.

    if the "waist" measurement is 1.5" BELOW the belly button, that is full-on muffin-top area, so, I'll try and get a measurement and re-plug in my numbers.

    At the risk of seeming silly, I admit that I don't get this.:embarassed: Can someone please explain how this works? I entered my info on the first screen and and then I get to the macro calculator ... I don't know what to change. I changed the top box to "faster weight loss" and it shows a loss of -.94 per week. Well less than a pound a week is NOT fast weight loss to me. I was looking for something closer to 1.5-2 a week. What else do I need to change? I really want to understand this stuff!

    MOMSHRINKS - If you want to change the amount of weight it calculates you losing per week, then you need to manually adjust the % Under TDEE values. So if you selected "faster weight loss" it will put you at TDEE-40% (at least for me) for rest days and at 20% OVER TDEE on workout days. If you want to maintain a steady -20% TDEE (or whatever number you prefer), then manually change the percentage for both rest days and workout days. You can also manually change all the macros to whatever percentages you want. I typically try to aim for 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat.

    So...let me see if I have got this right.

    I work out three times a week, I eat more on workout days and less on rest days. Macros are also different on work out and rest days.

    Why only three days of working out a week? As someone asked is this any type of exercise? But then if we have set our activity level at moderately active how can we only be having three workout days?

    I am soooo confused LOL

    You don't have to eat more on workout days - change it to whatever you prefer to do. The same goes for macros. It's just a calculator to show you all options but it's up to you to select what works best for you. Also, three is just the default for workout days, if you want to workout more then change it to your normal workout schedule.
