    All of the equations to determine daily calories are rather similar. In the end they are all just an approximation and will need to be adjusted based on actual results. People stress to much about their starting number. It's going to more than likely need to be adjusted several times during the weight loss process so I always advocate just picking any reasonable starting number and not worrying.

    Thanks for sharing this. This tool did seem slightly more thorough and personalized than most online calculators I've tried. Bookmarking it.
