@jerrytmcl, when you calculate for BMR, are you just taking it assuming no exercise, or are you adding those extra exercise kcals back in? (See below) If I exercise 30-60 minutes a day (heart rate at around 120) 5 days a week, should I be basing my diet on the 2,167 number, or the 3,175 number? THanks for your posts! Note:…
