Yikes! This has to be wrong right?!

I was then on the Maximuscle webite, as I use a few of their products, when I came across this page.  If you click on the calorie counter tool on this page it opens up a pop - up box.  insert you details and let me know if your results were as shocking as mine!  Apparantly my daily calorie allowance is 995!  I cannot believe a website would reccomend that!

Let me know if you guys get them same!

I guessed at my waist circumference, but got 1660, which is pretty much on par with this site.

Maybe you mis-entered something?

This site has to be totally wrong. It told me I should be eating 983 calories a day. ....Thats how many I probably normally eat anyway-but even I know thats not right.

I dont suggest taking their advice or using their cal calculator...

It gave me a figure in the ball park of what I should be eating. Are you sure you entered everything in correctly? There might be a bug in their software depending on which options you choose. *shrug

thank the lord - i had begun to panic i was destined to life time of not eating in order to stay slim lol!

It suggested 1760 for me, so pretty much spot on.   Did you adjust the lbs per week you would like to lose?  If you left the 2 per week that it prefills with,  but you are already pretty close to your ideal weight, that could be why it gave you such a low #.   Change it to a more reasonable 1/2 lb per week.   Only severely overweight people can lose 2lbs a week safely.

It told me that I should be eating about the right amount, but for maintnance... Not to lose weight. I need to lose! I think it has to do with the waist measurement part... Based on my waist measurement, and my weight, it came up with a body fat percentage that is SO far off of every other BMI calculator that I've ever seen. More than 20% off.

It never asked my height or age?  Says I should be eating 2500 cals a day and drinking 4.1 liters of water!

It tells me I need to eat 2600 to lose 2 pounds a week....that seems a tad excessive.  CC says I need 2200 to maintain.

god it looks like it goes from one extreme to another!

I got 2000 cals and 3.2L of water a day.  Sounds nice.....but I won't lose 2 lb a week with that, I've tried.

I think it's a bit warped...maybe it just generates random numbers?

It told me to eat 2278 cals. per day to lose 2 lbs per week which is a little higher than what CC says.

it told me to only eat 600 calories a day omg!!

this site is definatley wrong.

For me to lose one pound a week, it told me to eat 1480 calories and 93 grams of protein, along with 2 liters of water a day.

Sounds about right.

Try it again.

haha...it told me i should eat 978 calories per day. silly calculator.

it told me to eat 1100, and freakin' 148 grams of protein a day. I get 90 a day maybe. Am I really supposed to have that much?

It gave me 1837, which is my target anyways. :/  It did suggest 180g of protein a day.  Dunno where that came from, but with my average being 40g, I don't think it's gonna happen.

Oh, and am I missing the part where you give your height, and how much you want to lose? Otherwise it's just a random number.

Wow! You're right, this is insane! This website told me to eat 714 calories per day! That's awful...I wonder if the fact that I don't use any of their products has an affect on what they predict.

Haha, over 3,000 for me.  I wish...
