    Interesting article.. Also read a few others that it linked to. Found a BMR calculator that gave me an outrageously high number. Surely that was TDEE instead. Anyway...

    Edited to add link to related article than include BMR calculator:

    http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/women_fat_loss_tips.htm

    It said my BMR was over 1800. That's crazy. TDEE ? sure, but not BMR. I'm only 5'0" tall, 42 yrs old and 152 pounds.

    Thanks for posting! I've bookmarked it. It all makes perfect sense to me.

    Except that I didn't know that "pink" was a mass value. Hehe.
