BMR: Base metabolic rate

Here's a formula you can use:

66 + (6.23 times your weight in pounds) + (12.7 times your height in
inches)
- (6.8 times your age in years) which equals your BMR (the minimum
amount of
calories you need each day just to live healthy). Since you exercise
alot,
you can multiply this number (your BMR) by1.4 to add more calories to
compensate for your exercising (if you exercise lightly, you would use
1.2
and if strenuously 1.6). After you do this calculation compare that
with the
number of calories you are eating each day.

So in my case (XENO) at present:

66 + (6.23 X 260) + (12.7 X 75) - (6.8 X 33)= XENO'S BMR

66 + 1619.8 + 952.5 - 224.4 = 2414 CAL

With exercise running the IRON OARSMAN

2414 X 1.4 = 3379 CAL

In order to lose weight I should reduce calorie intake by 20%

Sincerely, XENO
