Journey, Not A Destination

No I know you don't want to be linked to someone else's website... but if you look at a website that has one... you can do a view source and look at their code...

generally the calculator is a self contained application that gets uploaded to your webspace... and the code will have it run...

widgets make it easy -but probably isn't what you want as the calculator lives elsewhere..
such as this

Someone help.

How can I get a BMR calculator on my website without knowing web code and all that fancy bullshit?

Yeah i can email you an html file that does it for ya. check out the one on my website (first link in the sig). Just upload and go kinda thing.

Just as well i was looking at your diary thing eh :)
 
Thanks Mal! I'll have to check them out.... I have no problem paying for something if it's good.

Wishes.... I just checked out your site.

a) nicely done

b) I do like the looks of your calculator... however.... I wouldn't want it to break out how much protein, carbs, and fat one should eat. Is is customizable or do you have to use all of it?

i can customize it and remove that if ya need too :)

That would be awesome!

I really just want someone to be able to calc their bmr and than apply an activity factor to get an approx. total caloric goal.

is your calculator using the harris benedict formula?
 
and in return you can tell me why im not loosing weight when im eating 2000ish cals a day and cycling 150-200km per week :O

Hmmm....

When's the last time you took a break?

Like a real break and allowed for more calories.

Is the cycling intense? Any estimation of caloric expenditure per session? How many sessions per week?

I've seen women, especially women who have lost a lot of weight, have to go as low as 8 calories per pound with almost daily cardio to lose weight. It's rare... but does happen. Right now you're up over 12 calories per pound, or there abouts.
 
I started back logging the food just to make sure i was in the range i wanted which is around 2000ish, Only thing ive noticed is that i was lower in protein which ive now upped more.
I always take 2 days break per week from the cycling - usually monday and tuesday after the weekend (since i do most of it on the weekend).
Cycling to work and back which is 8.5km with heaps of effort (sprinting) which takes about 15-20 mins each way (except for monday and tuesday) plus occasional weds night ride of 40kms which is 2 hours, and saturday and sunday which are my longer slower routes of 70-90km each day - about 3 hours each. The longer the routes i take it easier.
Imn wondering if ive lost fat % and put on muscle with the longer weekend rides ive been doing. Either way i have to have a couple days break each week otherwise i just cant sleep, and i dont fully recover. I take a week off every few weeks or so (usually right before a race).
 
Are you strength training at all right now?

If not, I know you were a while back. I doubt the cycling is adding much muscle, if any at all. Maybe if you were starting from scratch at a baseline level of fitness.... but at this stage in the game you need to pass higher thresholds of multiple factors to trigger appreciable muscle gains.

And when was your last DIET break?
 
nah i stopped weight training at the beginning of the year. As for diet break i havnt actually been on a 'diet' per say for a while, just eating 'around about' 2000ish calories most days with the odd day going WAY over and the odd day under. When cycling i always eat before and during and then after.
Ive been known to have 3 breakfasts before, one before a ride, one halfway through, and one after, and then have lunch :)
There is a breif and a
 
More veggies and fish oil!

:p

That probably won't make or break your weight loss.... but I'd add them in nonetheless!

If I were you, I'd bump intake up to 2500ish for 4-5 days and than drop back down and see what happens. If that doesn't kick start anything, you might have to start progressively cutting calories slowly below 2000..... 10% every 2 weeks or so.

Unfortunately, metabolic slowdowns tend to stick around after people lose a lot of weight.... so where 12 calories per pound might be a good deficit from your average person.... someone coming off a big weight loss might need a deeper deficit.

8 calories a lb? gack that's depressing...
 
ouch that's sad... :(

I alternate between believing I don't care what the scale says - and focusing on fitness goals - but then again... in order for measurements to change and make my fitness goals more do-able - I need to make the scale move... I've been contemplating going below 2000 to make the scale move again.. or at least move and stay moved... that's gonna suck going below 1800... or even lower...
 
current weight is 188

that goes up to that fluctuates between 186 - 187 - 188- 189 - 190

and I am by no means obsessing over what the scale says...
