People overestimate the role of exercise in weight loss because they don't realize that the vast majority of energy expenditure goes into just keeping them alive. Cardio is useful though for cutting to very low body fat percentages and weight-training should never be skipped. No general formula can be 100% accurate for the individual, but Katch-McArdle is as good as it gets IMHO. As long as your input figures are accurate, the output will be. Mark It sure is Dorian.

It's me again! I just read this post the first time (really didn't find it neccesarry since I love following my MANS lifestyle). Great article but I have one question. Is that RMR formula accurate? I just punched in my values in the calculator and it tells me I burn 1980 calories while resting! I weigh 85kg with ~15% bodyfat. Can this be accurate? If so, I guess I'll be sleeping for the next couple of days^^ Alright, see you! Hey Mark! It’s me again!

Well it's a good idea to use the formula to make sure you're hitting your minimum requirement but it's really easy to do with MANS. Remember just 100ml of heavy cream gives almost 500 calories, it shouldn't be an issue getting enough calories to bulk on MANS. @ Andrics. I got mine at UK Amazon. Mark @ Homy.
