    Also another tip. According to katch mcardle my estimated rmr is just 1200 calories now if I went by that figure i would be 300 calories out.

    The Katch McCardle formula computes your BMR, not your RMR. BMR is lower than RMR.

    Not necessarily. My RMR is 1240, my BMR per Katch McCardle is 1371.

    No, your BRM *is* lower than your RMR.

    If you had your RMR tested at 1240, by definition, your BMR is lower. And Katch-McCardle is just wrong. If you go have your BMR tested in a sleep lab, it will be lower than the Katch-McCardle estimation, and lower than your measured RMR.

    They obviously meant BMR. Way to miss the point.

    It means the bodyfat figure used in the Katch BMR calc was wrong if you are not suppressing metabolism.

    Or, and this is usually it, the formula's are for your potential - you can suppress that easily.

    So yes you can suppress your RMR below your calculated Cunningham RMR and below your calculated Katch BMR.

    Or you do endurance cardio training which can also lower BMR/RMR.

    Hi, have a read through the thread. Theres some good info there and your question will be answered.



    An update on my progress:

    I've been maintaining for a while now. I put on some weight and now find im stabilising at between 62 - 63 kg which im ok with. atm i'm working hard to stay between 62 - 63 kg. I'm trying to average 2200 calories per week. I'll have to run through the last months stats to see just how much im averaging gross because i have been struggling to stay at 2200 often eating a lot more.

    Anyway come Spring (september here in Australia) i will cut for 6 months. This time though i'll know just how much food i can eat to maintain my weight so i'll know how much i can cut at. I'll most likely be able to eat around an average of 1850 calories if exercising moderately and if exercising heavily i'll lose well at around an average of 2050 calorie.

    How you can get your BMR accurately or medically measured? I had no idea you could do that. Is it done by a doctor? How do they do it? Thanks

    Google bariatrics, or wellness center or dietician and your town.

    Misuse of terms, they mean RMR tested. BMR would be expensive stay in the lab overnight and first thing in am testing after barely waking up.
