Author	Topic: Calorie calculator
AussieShep 09-24-2002 02:48 PM	Does anyone know if there is calorie calculator online, chart, or something else where we can determine how many calories daily we need to maintain, gain, or lose weight? Thanks

The lbs lifted? the number of stairs climbed? number of hours that you have slept? Heartbeats? All these determine your energy requirments, besides the standard data that you CAN incorporate into a calculation (weight, bodyfat%, height, age, sex, high/medium/low activity etc.), but the number of factors that cannot (practically), is too high. What you CAN do, is wear a heart-beat monitor / "calorie-monitor" all day; they are very small (on your wrist or under your sjirt; on your chest) and you can connect them to your computer. Maybe you should check some search engines.
