well I don't know if this equation thingy is working and it's only been a couple days.Only time will tell I guess.
14 August 2013
I am starting this equation thingy out as from today esp as I'm hitting 160lbs today!!
My BMR to maintain current weight is 2275.4 kcals. I am reducing that by 500 by food which gives e 1775.4 kcals for the day and it is also gym day so if I aim on killing 500 calories that way too that would potentially leave my intake by the end of the day as 1275.4 and that is without all the rest that I am burning doing normal daily activities.Probably confused you all now but that was the most simplest and quickest thing I've ever calculated. :-)
oh and not forgetting lots of snacks to keep the metabolism burning.
I'll report back later.......

So, I found on my doody do it all recently jazzed up scales that it works out my BMR too.I knew that but never quite knew what it meant and now I am really losing weight, I'm interested especially as I know I need to up my metabolism.So, I looked it up-
BMR is short for Basal Metabolic Rate. Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories required to keep your body functioning at rest, also known as your metabolism.
Harris Benedict Formula
Once you've calculated your BMR, this is then put into the Harris Benedict Formula, which calculates your total calorie intake required to maintain your current weight. This is as follows:
Little/no exercise: BMR x 1.2 = Total Calorie Need
Light exercise: BMR x 1.375 = Total Calorie Need
Moderate exercise (3-5 days/wk): BMR x 1.55 = Total Calorie Need
Very active (6-7 days/wk): BMR x 1.725 = Total Calorie Need
Extra active (very active & physical job): BMR x 1.9 = Total Calorie Need
I have seen someone else use something similar on here and can then set my calorie deficit for each day.Now I need to look into how much deficit after the Harris Benedict Formula has been calculated to LOSE weight.........................
*** A little time later***
Generally, reducing the caloric intake by 500-1000 calories, is where most people will fall.

So, here goes.Day one of calibration of scales again.Day one of deep breath in and get on with it and day one of recording all the other stats my scales give me.I do accept I'm a very slow loser but I am going to try and speed my metabolism up a bit with some inbetween meal snacks and see if that helps.Any suggestions would be gratefully received on the boosting metabolism issue as I do eat very well but I'm just not all that hungry between meals (until late eve then I have to reign it in somewhat).
Anyway here's the stats from my scales taken shortly after waking before breakfast-
Weight - 158.8lbs
Fat - 38.3%
Water - 45.7%
Muscle - 31.7%
BMI - 29.3%
Also wacked up my RDI from 1399 to 1800 to give scope for the snacks and will slowly work my way back down.Back to basics.
I also need to remind myself where I was weight wise 2 years ago and these stats were a hell of a lot worse.Way more fat!!! Wish I had the stats to remind myself but alas I do not.
Lets just get on with it now............
