Caloric needs and coach 5-k program
Obviously I did my own calculations lol
SO….
The original equations from Harris and Benedict are:
for women, 65.50955 + (9.5634 * w) + (1.8496 * s) - (4.6756 * a)
For me: 1084.94563 cal if lightly active [ Light activity: moderate exercise or sports 1 to 3 days per week]
or 1223.02962 cal if moderately active [Moderate activity: (moderate exercise or sports 3 to 5 days per week]
NOW SHALL I WONDER WHY I HAVE BEEN STUCK SINCE SEPT 2007?!?!?!?!?!?
And since those numbers TAKE into account the exercise AND i do not intend to eat under 1200 cal/day, does that mean that:
a) it would take another YEAR to lose the last 10-12 lbs? or
b) i am doomed at eating 1200-1300 cal/day all my life b/c i’m small ?
on a lighter note…
minute 0-05:00 ; brisk walk
05:01 -06:00 ; run as fast as i could
06:01-07:30; walk
07:31-08:30; run
08:31-10:00; walk
10:01-11:00 ; run
11:01-12:30 ; walk
12:31-13:30; run
13:31-15:00; walk
15:01-16:00; run
16:01-17:30; walk
17:31-18:30; run
18:31-20:00 ; walk
total cal burned as per my stepper: 213.8
that’s b/c i don’t have a HRM and i can’t take my running outside which sucks. and i am not in the market for one until i come back from Vienna in mid-May [the darn USD/EUR exchange ratio is making me crazy!]
