LOVE this spreadsheet. I FINALLY feel like I may start understanding this all
2 Questions (which I think have been answered, but just in case...):
1.) Which amount do I use? Mifflin St. Jeor, or the Katch-McArdle. The BMR or the Cut? (I do not know my body fat)
2.) Do I just no longer log my excercise (but still do it)?
Thank you SO SO much0 -
Sure My cut's almost over, I wanted to seriously work on my build after that, no more mess :smokin:0

Thank you SO SO much
1- If you don'k know your BF : "Mifflin-St Jeor (FOR WOMEN)". If you want to lose weight : the cut @ 15 %, which means a daily 15% deficit .
BMR : Basal Metabolic Rate : Required energy for our body to perfom vital tasks, don't eat near that
CUT : 15% deficit from TDEE which allows you to slowly burn
BUIL : 15% excesss. The extra energy will be used for the body to heal muscles, build fibers, etc.... --> gain muscle :glasses:
2- Log your exercices, that will allow you to know how much your burnt, eg. extra consumed. Now suppose your burn 500 calories, you higher your TDEE with 500 calories. If you keep the cut with the same value, you make the deficit even bigger (remember the 15% range is sage) if you do it several times, no biggie at all, but remaning everyday within a huge deficit is dangerous0 -

Seems pretty on par with my calculations when I enter my info.
Nice Job, though I am sure it will not work for everyone. (Nothing ever does)0 -

You ROCK, Razique!! :flowerforyou:
Anytime Jennifer!
Juste make sure you guys don't play with the fire by updating values in order to make the weight loss faster - that won't make any good AT ALL
- cheers mates
Question: So as we progress through the weeks, we do not have to update the weight (whether we have gained/lost since the original weight input)?0 -
Nope, that would mean you won't have any "starting weight". The best thing to do is to give you a middle-term goal (3 months seems good)
You start on Monday, and everyweek, you compare your current weight with the plan. If you are losing faster than the plan accross weeks, it means you can slighlty increase your intakes. If in one another hand you are losing too slowly compared to the plan it means you'll need to eat slightly less (eg 200 calories less)0 -
Ohhhhh! Now that totally makes sense! So according to the chart, I would approximately meet my goal weight in 16 weeks, which will be right on my birthday. Once I reach that point, would I just switch over to my maintenance calories right at that point or would I have to gradually up my calories over several days/weeks until I reach my maintenance calorie limit?0

Sure
I'll think about what features I could add :d
You could add equations to calculate body fat %
And thanks! This is great.0 -
