Please enjoy my all new Metabolism & Macros Calculator.

I had to invent this with my mighty brain because I don't think there is another one quite like it that exists.

 

The way I do things is different, and usually the people I talk to are over-restricting to an insufficent level of calorie intake, or at least, they keep getting told that's what they're supposed to be doing.

 

Instructions:

 

• Put your age, height and current weight into the calculator.
• The calculator will base it's maths on a weight that is NOT representative of "trying to starve yourself towards an unhealthfully low weight", and more representative of being interested in sustainable intakes for performance, muscle gains, and increased bone density.
• You can set a custom goal if you prefer but BE SENSIBLE with it.
• Choose your activity level.

 

If you happen to know your current caloric intake and it is less than the orange, or even the red, or heaven forbid less than BMR, and you can't remember WHEN it was last anywhere into those green ranges...

 

You have the "Metabolic Adaptation". 

 

Now idiots will argue "oh if she's not losing weight on those low intakes then she's not REALLY on those low intakes".

 

Well... maybe, but you shouldn't be on those low intakes anyway, they are not sufficient.

 

But in my experience people are often tracking very accurately, restricting very strictly, actually doing very close to (if not exactly) what they think they are doing... but the thing they are doing is not in their best interests, and not what they should be doing.

 

And idiots might say "well cut another 500 calories to get back into deficit", right?

 

When you're active and training hard to a serious program in the gym or outdoors or where ever you like to pursue your life goals... we do not cut to "less than enough to sit around on the sofa doing nothing", alright? We do NOT.

 

We need to increase towards that green level with the blue arrow pointing to it, and quite possibly we need to increase beyond that and all.

 

But up until that amount indicated by the blue arrow you will definitely still be "in deficit", but you'll be starting to regain the ability to actually expend energy and reap the rewards of training.

 

That should mean;

 

• better mood,
• better performance at training and sports,
• better condition, more muscle, stronger bones,
• and usually you might also expect more fat loss IF you have some to lose and that matters to you.

 

So once you increase to more suitable amounts, one of two things happens:

 

1. You realise "ooh i may have actually been eating quite a bit more than I thought I was, but this is a suitable amount I'm quite satisfied with for now", or
2. You wonder "how on Earth did I even survive on the amounts I was restricting to before?"

 

In FIFTEEN YEARS of experience as a professional coach, I would say if you are here reading this right now, it is probably going to be the 2nd of those things.

 

In other words; girl, you aint eating enough!

 

Build a plan to start increasing from where ever you're at now, to the next level of intake in the chart above.

And then after a couple of weeks, think about increasing again until you're closer to where you need to be.

• Speadsheet version of the calculator that you can save to your Google Drive, with a bunch more features.
• A bunch more info about how to build your own Strategic System for a healthy appetite, better performance at training, and better results.
• A whole bunch about training strategies and how to train effectively for better results.
• Lots more via email.

Click on the More Free Stuff link and drop your details in the box to get started. You can show your appreciation with a tip now via the ko-fi link, or later when you realise you are about to have a better rest of your life due to the uniquely good advice in my programs.

 

Why is it not more expensive?

 

My mission is to create a program that anyone can afford, and anyone can succeed with.

And I like to give people the opporunity to learn about my approaches, try it out, and see how this is different to what they're probably used to from elsewhere, so that they can make an informed decision to come on board for a Custom Coaching Strategy.
