Thanks for the correction. Looks like I added the 238 instead subtracting it! I made the correction to my post. Poor Joe, I cut his calories!!! Colin…

You went: 66 + 1090.25 +914.4 + 238 = 2308.65 Should have been: Simplified... 66 + 1090.25 +914.4 - 238 = 1832.65 1832.65 * 1.725 = 3161 calories per day Hey

Looks like there’s a mistake in your maths. You went:
66 + 1090.25 +914.4 + 238 = 2308.65

Should have been:
Simplified… 66 + 1090.25 +914.4 – 238 = 1832.65

1832.65 * 1.725 = 3161 calories per day

Yes, I know what you mean. Theory-wise we should be shedding weight. As far as the scale goes I seem to be at a plateau with my weight too. I have been working out very hard and have been on top of my calories. So I measured my body fat. The great news is that I lost a couple percentage points of BF so I know that my fat loss is being offset by my lean muscle gains. That makes sense because my arms are becoming more defined and vascular. On the top banner of my website I placed a photo of my bicep. After I took the picture I was pleasantly surprised to see the definition. The other thing about this whole thing is that if I don't keep my calories high enough, my metabolism slows down. It is just a balancing act that I need to watch. Mark, thanks for the comments.

I was thinking about writing about this sometime soon. Figuring out these formulas is helpful in setting goals. Lately the theory just doesn't seem to be working. I have hit a plateau and haven't lost any weight for a month. Very frustrating. According to the formula I'm burning 2650 a day and according to my Fitday program, I'm consuming 2003 calories a day. The carbs-protein-fat mix is close, not right on. I haven't seen much changes in measurements. I was really planning on staying strictly with just the workouts, but if I don't see some changes soon, I'm going to either drop the Kenpo and Plyo and hit the stationary bike instead for cardio. Great post!
