    thank you! I just spent the time plugging it all in....took awhile because I am no excel wiz!

    I especially appreciate how when you put in your exercise calories it adjusts off the daily cals so they are not counted double. I have tried to explain this net vs. gross calorie thing to some of my pals and they just hate that! LOL! but, that's why I've lost pounds and maybe because they haven't??

    Anyway, thanks again!

    Edit: cause I can't type/spell either ;-)

    You bet.

    i figured there are enough inaccuracies in food labeling, in the HRM calorie burn too, why not make as exact as possible what can be made that way. Over the course of a week it can add up to 1000 calories easy depending on your workout length and intensity.
    Longer and less intense get the worse effect.

    Awesome tool! Thanks!! :)

    Wish it wasn't like a swiss army knife with everything under the sun in it, even that one little tool you never know what it's for.
    But everything in there has come up multiple times when running numbers or for myself, so thought it best to include.

    it'll probably send you off to sleep in that case! Which may indeed be a good desired thing.

    Only (teeny tiny point) that some sentences don't seem complete - a wrapping thing or such because if you click on the cell itself the sentence is all there. Example: PAS level 3 description (HRM tab).
    Really not significant but if you're looking for work.... ;-)

    Well, that is good catch. I've tried to look at the Excel conversion and see what can be changed in the Google spreadsheet to make it come out correctly once converted. But only caught a couple major ones that really messed things up.

    I'll have to start making my way through for visual things. That is strange though, must be a change of font size.

    Thanks for comment. Visual changes shouldn't be too bad, Finish a tab at a time hopefully.

    Anyone else use this through Google Documents on Safari on Mac or iPad, and any advice?

    Or at least had the option to download as Excel file and use in Mac's MS Office Excel?

    I was thinking of doing that on my blog, updates on what I've done to the spreadsheet, and for those subscribed, you'd find out.

    I don't do many blogs, so not a lot of updates otherwise.

    Since you pretty much know how much you need to eat to maintain at your level of workout, I'd be very interesting in your feedback on any of the TDEE calc's you care to compare to what really does work for you.

    I know the standard Harris TDEE calc under-estimated exercise, but I have a feeling the WHO TDEE calc does to, despite 3 separate workout levels for your time.

    heybales - one "real" tweak I'd love is a metric version of the bodyfat tool :-)

    Ya, I need to expand the area to make that possible. What worked out was the Covert that has the most measurements used, is already based on inches. And I saw my cloth tape measure and saw that it always had inches and cm's on it.

    Perhaps I should just switch it around, cm's being more accurate anyway.

    I'll have to think about more room.
