IPOARM- Stupid to follow?

This is summary and outline of IPOARM(In Place Of A Road Map Version 3)

1. Calories
Calories are a unit of measurement. How an inches measure distance, pounds measure weight, calories measure energy.

2. Weight loss
Your body uses calories every second of the day; this is energy you’re burning. If you eat eat the amount of calories your body burns you will maintain your weight. If you eat less than your body burns there is not enough energy to support your weight so your body has to shrink (lose weight). If you eat more than what you’re burning your body will store it. You will weigh more.
To lose weight you must burn more than you consume.(Take note how it says nothing about food choices, it’s about calories).

3. TDEE(Total Daily Energy Expenditure)
This is how many calories you burn per day. If you eat at your TDEE you will maintain weight, you won’t gain or lose.

4. BMR(Basal Metabolic Rate)
This is your BASE metabolic rate, this means this is the bare minimum of your metabolic rate. This is what you would burn if you where in a coma.

5. Body Fat %
This is just the percentage of fat on your body. If you weigh 200lbs and have 100lbs of fat, you have 50% body fat. Pretty simple.

6. Eat at a moderate deficit.
1. Moderate Deficit(fat loss)
2. Large Deficit(stall out/muscle mass loss)
3. Starvation (Mostly muscle mass loss, some fat) This is usually defined of a diet around 800 calories a day.

7. Setting everything up.
1. Determine Body fat %.
Know your body fat %, you need a tape measurement for this. If you don’t have a tape measure, skips this part(go to step 2). It’s recommended to know it because your calculations would be more accurate. Go to: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/ obviously enter your data.

2. Calculate your BMR
Go to: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ then enter your data, where it says “Enter Goal Weight” enter your current weight. On the next page it will show 2 BMR calculations.


If you entered your body fat, use the “Katch-McArdle Forumla” as your BMR. If you didn’t enter your body fat use the use the “Harris-Benedict Formula” as your BMR. If you’re using the “Harris-Benedict Formula” Your TDEE will be displayed under “daily calories” skip to step 4(calculate a deficit) if you’re using the “katch-McArdle Formula” continue to step 3.

3. Calculate your TDEE(if you’re using Katch-McArdle Formula)
Multiply your BMR by one of the numbers below based on your activity level.

Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. Active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training, i.e marathon, contest etc.)

4. Calculate a deficit
Remember if you don’t eat enough you will stall out and risk losing muscle mass. Most people recommend eating at minimum your BMR and lower than TDEE.
If you know your bodyfat go by this chart.

Men Categories
Category 1: less than 15% body fat.

 Category 2: 16-25% body fat 

Category 3: 26 > body fat 



Women Categories

Category 1: Less than 24% body fat. 

Category 2: 25-35% body fat 

Category 3: 35% > body fat.

If you don’t know your body fat go by this chart
Category 1: Less than 15lbs to lose.
Category 2: 15 -30 lbs to lose.
Category 3: 30+ lbs to lose.

Below is the formula to calculate your deficit.
Category 1 = multiply TDEE by .90
Category 2 = multiply TDEE by .85
Category 3 = multiply TDEE by .80

8. Macro nutrient intake

Priorities:
• Hit your calorie goal
• Hit your protein goal
• Hit your fat goal
• Hit your carb goal

9. Macro nutrient intake
I’ll just make it simple, use the excel sheet, it will calculate things out for you. Just enter your TDEE, weight, and body fat% Up on the left hand corner it will say “file” click on that, then click on “download.” Under fill there will be a little arrow pointing down, click on that, that will download the file as well.

Is this just rubbish? or is MFP putting it the right way? MFP was 1600 cals and doing this for myself is 1839

Haris Benedict Formula : 2151

Sedentary: 2299 (little or none)
Light Activity: 2635(3 days)
Moderately Active: 2970 (5 days)
(workouts)

TDEE x .80= BMR

Sendentary: 1839- 113 carbs, 107 Protein, 106 Fats *20%, 25%, 55%*
Light: 2108- 163 carbs, 124 proteins, 106 fat * 30%, 25%, 45%*
Moderately: 2376- 213 carbs, 141 proteins, 106 fat * 30%, 30%, 40%*

The formula below will not calculate your exact body fat percentage. This calculation should give you a consistent measurement you can use as a guideline and determine if you're losing body fat and/or muscle.

Here's the information that you entered:

Sex: female
Weight: 304 pounds
Neck: 13 inches
Waist: 50 inches
Hip: 53 inches

Based on this information, you have a lean body mass of 107 pounds. Your lean body mass includes everything in your body that's not fat. Now that we know your lean body mass, let's find out how much fat you're carrying around. We'll subtract your lean body mass from your weight and find you currently have 197 pounds of fat on your body.

Your body fat percentage is 64.8%.

Now that you have this informtion, visit our Goal Body Weight calculator and figure out how much you should weight based on your current lean body mass and body fat percentage.
