A Goal Weight Guarantee Part 2

As stated in A Goal Weight Guarantee, a good tip in achieving your weight goal is knowing how many calories a person of that weight would eat, and to find that out you need to know the BMR of a person of that weight.

An alternative BMR calculator is located at http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/bmr.php
This is for those you couldn't calculate inches with the BMR calculator featured in A Goal Weight Guarantee and is probably more of a universal one.

Now, an additional thing to think about is that you don't want to be aiming for a weight that is unhealthy for your age and height. For that you need to know your BMI. Not to be confused with BMR which deals with calories per day, BMI deals with body fat percentage.

So in breaking it down, to achieve your goal weight:

You would first go to http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
and enter your details.

Based on that result you would go to http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi_tbl.htm
and look at your BMI at the top of the table. Then look at your height in regards to your BMI and see your ideal healthy weight.

And for those that don't know, 1 foot = 12 inches, although you can do an online calculation at http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm

Finally, once you've found your ideal healthy weight, you can go to the aforementioned BMR calculator to work out how many calories you would need per day to acheive that ideal healthy weight.

And a final finally, don't wait until tomorrow to start eating at your goal weight, start today.
