Interesting calculations...

Which is not that far from what fitday reckons is my Basal Metabolic Rate of 1784 really. Fitday reckon I use another 775 cals just living, based on a lifestyle of desk work. Simon recommends multiplying RMR by 1.4 for a lightly active lifestyle. Both these come out at around 2600 cals a day.
If I put in my target weight (11 stone, around 70kg) and the percentage of fat that would be given the same lean mass (23%) then I get the following result instead:
( after )
Mulitply that by 1.4 and I should be on around 2100 cals a day at that point. Which I guess makes sense, as I'll still be somewhat bigger (and hence using more cals) than the average woman of food packaging.
