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!

840....
and 9 cups of water a day...

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

619 calories
99g of protein a day
49g carbs
3g fat

7.4 cups of water

Crazy -_-

Whoa!  I didn't really change anything, as I'm not sure what some is, but it says 4160 for me!  That is just way beyond too much for me!

Just over 600 calories a day. I think I would actually starve on their plan, LOL.

I think this calculator just expects you to put in safety measures yourself.  It doesn't seem to have a cut-off factor, it just assumed that you know if you're 110lbs with 30% body fat and put in that you don't do any activity, you're going to have to eat 700 cal or something to eat it.  It leaves you with the responsibility.

I think I rather like this calculator. ;)

It told me to eat about -250 calories. Sooooooooo, I think something is up with that site.

I think when you enter in your stats on each page, you need to hit "calculate" or "recalculate" - it doesn't update automatically. I'm guessing that's one problem. But clearly the program doesn't have any cutoffs, so I would depend on it for anything. Try www.phord.com/cc if you want a more reliable calculator.

Something's screwy.  For losing 2 lbs a week (ha!), I need to eat 1754 cals, to lose 1.5 lbs a week I should be eating 1826 cals.  Right now I eat 1400 +/-  a day.  This is accordance to the BMR calculator that was in a thread a while back and 1417 to be exact.
