  • Yeah, I have one, too and it is always higher than the estimates provided by sites like MFP. Sites like this use a few bits of data about you and a formula to come up with an estimate. It is a fairly accurate estimate but it is still an estimate. The Bodybugg or Bodymedia, whatever they are calling it now, takes those same…

  • This reminds me of my question about wearing jeans at the gym. If that's what I am comfortable working out in, what difference does it make? To the original poster's point, I would probably never wear black "dress" socks with shorts at the gym but again, if that's what someone is comfortable with...
    in Black socks with workout clothes? Comment by rpstaller January 2012
  • I’m resurrecting this thread. I don’t understand why I can’t wear jeans at the gym. Not that I do, I always wear sweat pants and a t-shirt but I really don’t get why jeans are against the rules. I went to my mechanic over the weekend and he told me it was going to be about an hour before he was ready for me so I decided to…

  • I also use the measurement method for the Army/Navy for the reasons I mentioned before. However, one of the most accurate methods available now is the Bod Pod test (www.bodpod.com). You go sit in an egg-shaped thingy and it gives you all sorts of feedback on your body composition, including body fat percentage. And the…
    in Goal weight and body fat for 5' 3.75" ? Comment by rpstaller November 2011
  • Just to throw a guy's opinion in here — I personally set my goal weight -body fat based on the height-weight-body fat standards for the Army. Am I in the Army, you may ask. No. No, I am not. But I would like to be and that is why I use that chart. A quick Google search will return a few pages that have the chart if you are…

  • I own a Bodybugg and it is pretty awesome. It tracks the calories I burn from all activity whether it's walking on the treadmill, lifting weights, or carrying groceries in from the car. I have also done the math (me = nerd) with my total burned vs. total consumed compared to the weight I lost for the week and the thing is…
    in Do you eat your exercise calories on the same day? Comment by rpstaller November 2011
  • This is something I have given a lot of thought to myself. I don't think I would personally be comfortable with dividing my projected exercise calories over the whole week. Anything can happen in a week and if something happened that prevented me from exercising as much as I projected then the calories are off. However, I…
