Nutritional Information and what my teammates need

Let's see! As most of you know, I don't count calories but moreso the type of food I eat. But for those of you who rather use this formula, here is what I found:

Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body needs to function at rest. This accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of calories burned in a day and includes the energy required to keep the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the eyelids blinking and the body temperature stabilized. In general,men have a higher BMR than women. One of the most accurate methods of estimating your basal metabolic rate is the Harris-Benedict formula:

Adult male: 66 + (6.3 x body weight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Adult female: 655 + (4.3 x weight in lbs.) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
Go ahead and calculate your BMR which is amount of calories you need at rest:

In as far as how many calories you are allow to have based upon activity level, height, age, and weight and sex - mine calculated to be approx 1944 calories per day

I need Michele's help in coming up with a template for u guys to fill out.

What I need as a template and what you guys should fill out is the following:

Total Calories per serving
Total Calories from fat
Total Fat in grams
Sodium in mg
Total carbs in grams
Dietary fiber in grams
Protein

I think for most of you, you are more looking at the calorie amount and figure you are eating healthy. What is the killer that puts weight on or causes you not to lose weight is the calories from fat.So therefore my concentration is on choosing foods with about 1/3 of your calories from that particular food that contains fat:

For instance:

Greek yogurt in itself has:

Total Calories: 130
Calories from fat: 70

As you can see that is 41% of the calories is from fat

Now, the low carb formula does work as Kamilah suggested to me. It was hard giving up starches but instead of giving it up totally, I gave up the white starches such as: potatoes, white bread, white rice, white flour but I did continue to eat foods like: brown rice, whole wheat(100%) bread, sweet potatoes.

All this information on this email I will put on my blog so you can refer to it from time to time just in the event you delete the emails.

Please, if you got questions, please ask.

Neka and Michele have been following somewhat what I ask them to do and it seems like it is working.
