Can someone double check this for me please, I had to recalculate today after realising that now ive started gym 3-5 times a week i'm not lightly active i'm moderatly active.

Ok so I weigh 185lb's
my height is 71 inch
and i'm 17 so...

66 + (6.23 x 185)=1218.55
(12.7 x 71)=901.7
(6.8 x 17)=115.6

(1218.55+901.7)-115.6 *1.55 = 3107 rounded

I will be cutting meaning taking a 500kcal defecit,= 2607 divided into 5 meals a day = 521kcal? per meal?

Thanks, mattb22

This is what I came up with in Excel using Benedict and a 1.33 multiplyer (Moderate)........what is your training like......may want to use a higher multiplyer. Take a look at it. If you want I can send you this spread sheet all ready configured for the Benedict formula, and all you have to do is plug in your personal information and applicable multiplyer. I made this a long time ago, and it may be usefull to you or others..........ROCK ON!

I read somewhere that moderate multiplyer was 1.55 not 1.33 but your probably right, but wow 2000kcals thats quite low!, looks like I gotta cut an extra few here and there then :p

Your approximated MT line would be the multiplyer number not the BASE, one adjusts from the MT Line approximation.
 
Wow! Ok now i'm confused, I'm right in thinking your BMR is the amount of kcals that your body would naturally burn whilst resting. Then your mt line is the amount of kcals you burn dependant on your activity level.

I realise now that from your spreadsheet my bmr is 2004. My mt line at moderatly active is 2665.51kcal.

Then I need to take away my defecit of 500kcal which leaves 2165.51kcal?

Have I got it so far?
 
Yes, you on track now. The key thing is the input data (being correct), and ensuring the Multiplyer is fairly close to what your doing (training and other activities).......but yes now your thinking right

I will send the Excel benefict formula through e-mail if you have one.
 
I hand wrote my diet in a note folder (and still do to this day), I then carry over the configured calories to the excel spreadsheet (not the one I sent you, this one is much more complicated, and wont be suited for your use, though).


So, I cant send any e-mail attachments.

But I will send you an e-mail about what I ate, and when in an e-mail. Soon.

You are totally welcome!

Actually, BMR should be kcals that your body would naturally burn in a coma - the ' base ' kcals minimum you need just to keep you alive....just to exist .

RMR ( Resting Metabolic Rate ) more accurately describes the kcals that your body would naturally burn while being awake and ' resting ' - i.e. laying in bed reading a book etc.. And this is usually a bit higher than BMR

But even though there is a difference between the 2 - calorie wise - it's not a material one.

Bumps to BMR / RMR are usually made up of daily non-exercise activity level exercise activity level, plus....metabolism for digestion, and metabolism for energy replenishment - which I think most multipliers lump together and take into account.
