You finish these with activity factors (1.0-2.40)and Stress factors (Most people will be 1.0) to get closer to actual- the Mifflin has been determine most appropriate in outpatient weight management settings. Atleast thats my 2 cents0

TL;DR thread
What is this? Also, love your post...very informative!0 -
i think the way MFP sets up weight loss for the beginner is atrocious. Eating back poorly estimated exercise calories and setting most peoples daily calorie goal below BMR is terrible. No wonder 1/3 posts on this site is about stalling out. People leave themselves no where to go. Most of them exercise 5 times a week so its tough to add another day of exercise, and you sure as hell can reduce their calories anymore.
I tend to agree that this is not a good system for complete beginners, unless they're willing to spend a little time seeking out and reading posts like this (which most won't). One needs to understand energy expenditure and calorie deficits before they can effectively use a tool like this to lose weight. If I have a calculator, does that automatically make me an accountant? No. But if I understand accounting, then a calculator can help me do my job. Similarly, if one understands calories and energy expenditure, MFP can help them achieve their goals.0 -

problem I have is people describe sedentary as been sat all the time.. I'm a wheelchair user so I'm always sat and need powered chair/scooter to get around my community.
However my condition means everything takes more energy than average and i get involuntary muscle movement which maybe similar to someone fidgeting constantly all day and by end of day may add to and equal a session at the gym.. then I do exercise/physio too and try and burn at least 500 calories off as I'm not sure how much above average I'm burning from the muscle spasms.
I was told to follow sedentary and have been on 1200 cals, but wonder if I should up to next one from sedentary? (mildly active?.. or moderate?)
I'm 5ft 3 and half and currently 138lbs age 42 I've only got 5-9lbs (not quite decided on goal weight yet) to go and no idea how many calories I should be eating to be eating healthily now!0 -
Indeed, this site lets people choose unrealistic calculations and loss-goals. But, most of them don't read the stickies, anyway. All this stuff is covered....in sticky or in the goals calculations.
Keep repeating this. If we do it enough, it will get through to some. But I agree, well over half the questions on this site are answerable right here.
If the goal wizard is used correctly, this site uses reasonable calculations that are derived from the info on this thread.
Welcome back, Joe.0 -
