Hello

From MFP, but I used it putting in my dit and it worked out spot on.

1.Interesting it gives the minimum amount of calories you need without burning muscle ( mine was 340)

2. You need to class "workout" days as feast days, then set them to 5 a week.

3. The numbers seem reasonable, and you can flex it, you need to set the Rest or fast day as -75% to get to the 500 calories.

Apologies if you have seen it before, but I thought it would be good to share.


Why? well I logged my details, and what I plan to eat (my TDEE is 3200 and my target feast day calories are 2200, fast days 500)and it tells me I should loose 3lb a week, which is on par with what I have done, when you factor in the extra exercise I have been doing and the extra calories from alcohol I have been doing as well OOoooops!

anyway here it is

Sorry to be dense but I don't really understand it :-) I fed in my basic details and it seems to be telling me it will take til Dec 2014 to lose 10 pounds! I'm pretty sure its because I don#t know how to use it lol Can you explain it to me please?

you move the sliders around under the pie charts on http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ to tell it how much to plan to eat

pick the Rest/Workout split (top left) to suit.

If you look towards the top of the page there are 4 headings, you need to click on 'macro calculator' to input the necessary details.

Not sure that they should be using pie charts on a dieting forecaster! :)
