    Hi dan,

    Great post thanks!

    I already pretty much use this style of working out cals rather than mfps eat back exercise, but wanted to check ive worked it out right!!!
    I just have a quick question:
    My bmr is 1587 / body fat 40.4 which gives me 1715 sedentary, 1965 lightly active, 2215 as mod active.
    I have a desk job and exercise 4-5 times a week. Exercise is light only due to knee injury so I currently eat at lightly active level of around 1950 and net around 1650.

    Maybe I'm just being dumb, but according to the chart the mod active level includes daily activity and workouts, so when you say to add 20% to this number, what is that for?

    Thanks :-)

    I don't have the energy to read all 15 pages of this, but I noticed on the first page that it was suggested that we check our body fat with calipers. I participated in a study many years ago that compared calipers to measuring body fat with water displacement. Calipers lost. It's much more reliable to get your body fat measured somewhere where you can be dunked in a tank of water. It doesn't take long, but nowadays I have no idea where to have it done or what it might cost.

    Dumb question but maybe someone can help.

    My Katch Mcardle is 1794. The TDEE at that level is 2152.

    I have a sedentary life style due to work and location. No real exercise save for climbing stairs and walking around the office. The BMR for that is 2126 and the TDEE at that level is 2551,

    From what I understand (and correct me if i am wrong) I am supposed to eat between my BMR and my TDEE correct?

    If that is the case which two of the numbers do I work with?

    Do I eat between 1794 and 2152.
    Or do I eat between 2126 and 2551?
