Okie, I remember what I was going to say…
I figured out how to kinda calculate my metabolic rate. Altho my Diet Power Program says my Metabolic Rate is 3113. This website I found says differently. Here’s a quote from the weightloss for all website about Metabolic Rate:
Women:
10 - 17 years BMR = 13.4 x W + 692 SEE = 112
18 - 29 years BMR = 14.8 x W + 487 SEE = 120
30 - 59 years BMR = 8.3 x W + 846 SEE = 112
Key:
W = Body weight in Kilograms
SEE = Standard error of estimation
I don’t quite know what the SEE is for, I understand it’s a standard deviation, but not sure who to apply it. Maybe it’s plus or minus 120 calories for me since I’m gonna be 29 years old.
Anyway, calculating it this way, I get 2914 versus the 3113 that Diet Power tells me. So Metabolic Rate is the energy that a person does or consumes in this case, consumes calories.
Discovery Health has one where you can calculate what you’d burn just by sitting still all day, why does that sound strange?? So I used their calculator and it says for my height, weight, and age… I am burning about 2300 calories This is also called resting metabolic rate, meaning, if I’l sitting on the couch all day, I burn 2300 calories just sitting here, or even if I take a nap. A nice cool relaxing day in front of the TV. Interesting. I found another site with a calculator like this, on bodybuilding.com that says about the same thing as Discovery Health as far as my Basal/Resting Metabolic Rate. Anyways, if you increase your activity, you increase that Metabolic Rate.
So… if I burn 2300 calories just sitting here, and I am currently set on a 2200 calorie diet, that means I can just sit here and type to you guys all day and lose weight
okie that sounds bit ridiculous, but it’s just funny how there are all these calculators out there to calculate this and that.
I found a calculator that calculates your daily calorie intake and I plugged my information in and it says a little over 3000 calories a day is what I am takin in to maintain my weight I guess. I was told not to cut more than 500 calories at a time, but I cut down to about 2200 so I cut out 800 calories.
There was even a link on there that talks about how much water I should drink for my weight. 160 oz!!
heheheh
Okie I think I babbled a lot here heheh, I know there was a point to this post, but I think I got lost in all the calculators I found *grin*
Ah well…
Take care everyone, hopefully someone will find this info useful…
