Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hi folks: Very attractively designed site. Thanks for the link. Having kept pretty close track of my caloric intake and weight for the past six months, I am of the opinion that that site overstates my caloric expenditure by about 400 kcal per day. If it was correct, then I would have been losing weight the past six months twice as fast as I have been. Perhaps this is unique to me. Who knows.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I don't know what equation they use. I don't think it's the Benedict. Every site seems to over state the calories. Maybe the activity of a younger is more changed from and older by more than the H-B would indicate. I liked the site because it indicated my weight was OK. (ha). They should add a BF calculator using U.S. Navy equation. I like that one too. Admittedly, guessing what our activity level actually is, in calories, is not easy. I seem to use a LOT more calories when I work out doors than I would estimate just by the WORK (physics) output.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 > Ruth, > try this link: > > http://www.dietitian.com/ibw/ibw.html , when I put in the numbers I was given a 1440 cal a day diet. What confused me though was the 36g (144 cals) 10% protein, and 215g (860cals) 60% carb and 48g (432 cals) 30% fat ratio. The 10% protein sounded very low to me and the 60% carbs very high Canary Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Canary Peg, I was given the same breakdown of fat, carbs and protein. There was an option to adjust the percentages which I did not touch. It looks like the 30/60/10 is the default. It gave me 1580 calories for the day, which seems high as I average around 1300 now. > > Ruth, > > try this link: > > > > http://www.dietitian.com/ibw/ibw.html > > , > when I put in the numbers I was given a 1440 cal a day diet. > What confused me though was the 36g (144 cals) 10% protein, > and 215g (860cals) 60% carb and 48g (432 cals) 30% fat ratio. > The 10% protein sounded very low to me and the 60% carbs very > high > > Canary Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please see: Healthy Body Calculator http://www.dietitian.com/ibw/ibw.html http://ibw.dietitian.com/ibw.exe Your Data Measure: US Age: 57 years Gender: Male Height: 5' 7 " Weight: 99 pounds Activity level: (hours/day) 6 hours - Sleep 16 hours - Very Light / Sedentary 1 hours - Light 1 hours - Moderate 0 hours - Heavy Body fat: Current 8 percent Goal 8 percent Calorie distribution: Fat 18 percent Protein 20 percent Carbohydrate 62 percent Weight goal: Maintain weight Elbow breadth: 2 1/2 inches Waist circumference: 33 inches Hip circumference: 40 inches Healthy Body Weight Range Legend Weight range: Your weight: Healthy body weight range is: 89 to 109 pounds You are within the healthy body weight range Explanation This is a healthy weight for you based on your height, gender and pregnancy status. The weight range does not consider your level of fitness. If you are an athlete, your weight goal based on your percent body fat would be a better indicator of what you should weigh. Body Frame Size You have a small frame size for your height Explanation Your skeletal frame size is most easily measured where there is little overlying skin and muscle, such as at your wrist or elbow. The elbow breadth could be more accurately measured by placing a calipher (a pliers-like instrument used to measure thickness), on the prominent bones on either side of your elbow. Persons with a small frame should weigh closer to the lighter end of their healthy body weight range. Persons with a medium frame should weigh toward the middle of their healthy body weight range. Persons with a large frame should weigh closer to the heavier end of their healthy body weight range. Percent Body Fat Going from: 8% body fat to 8% body fat Weight goal: 99 pounds Explanation If you have a lower body fat and higher body weight, standard weight calculations won't predict an appropriate weight goal. A more accurate weight goal can be calculated from your current body fat measurement. Waist to Hip Ratio Ratio: 0.83 - Pear shape: lower health risk Explanation This tells you where most of your body fat is located. Apple shape (a ratio of .95 or greater) means your body fat is located above your waist which indicates a higher health risk for diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and some cancers. Pear shape (a ratio of less than .95) means your body fat is located below your waist which indicates a lower health risk, but fat located in the lower half of the body may be harder to lose during weight loss.

Note, the lowest calorie recommendation is 1,200 calories per day. Food labels contain the amount of calories and nutrients per serving of food. To achieve your weight goal, subtract the calories and grams of fat on the labels of food you eat from the calories and grams of fat in Your Nutrition Facts as a maximum recommended daily amount. For foods not labeled, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, the calories and grams of fat are low as long as you don't add fat or deep fry these nutritious foods. The remaining nutrients are the Daily Values on US food labels. With the exception of pregnant women who need 30 mg of iron per day. This level can best be reached with an iron supplement. Talk to your doctor about this. Healthy Exercise Suggestions The Surgeon General has reported that moderate daily exercise could significantly reduce a number of diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Some activities that burn about 150 calories - the types of exercise defined as moderate - are noted below. Activities are ranked from 'less vigorous/more time' to 'more vigorous/less time'. Washing and waxing a car for 45 to 60 minutes Washing windows or floors for 45 to 60 minutes Playing volleyball for 45 minutes Playing touch football for 30 to 45 minutes Gardening for 30 to 45 minutes Wheeling oneself in a wheelchair for 30 to 40 minutes Walking 1.5 miles in 35 minutes Basketball (shooting baskets) for 30 minutes Bicycling 3 miles in 30 minutes Fast social dancing for 30 minutes Pushing a stroller 1.5 miles in 30 minutes Raking leaves for 30 minutes Walking 2 miles in 30 minutes Water aerobics for 30 minutes Swimming laps for 20 minutes Wheelchair basketball for 20 minutes Basketball (playing a game) for 15 to 20 minutes Bicycling 4 miles in 15 minutes Running 1.5 miles in 15 minutes Shoveling snow for 15 minutes Climbing stairs for 15 minutes Cheers, Alan Pater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hi Al: Thank you for yet another set of fascinating statistics - this time about yourself. The single most fascinating aspect (to me) of those data of yours, below, is how they compare with mine: Specifically, your ratio of waist circumference to height is very nearly identical to mine. But my BMI is between 23 and 24, while yours is between 15 and 16. An incredible contrast. It is gonna be a while before I figure out the significance of this!
