The first ever IIFYM CALCULATOR - - - - - Misc I request your verify

[BioPulse]

So we just combined like... 4 different javascript calculators and built a fully custom IIFYM calculator.
I think we did a good job but I might make a few more tweaks to it depending on what the misc has to say.
The only thing I might like to do is to add a bit of functionality that allows the user to determine the percentage of caloric deficit that is created in the goals area.

Thoughts misc?

All of the misc will get free oatmeal once we launch.
In fact, we are going to give out 2 coupons to everyone.
one to use for yourself. Another to give away to a friend.

Thanks brah

seems legit

That was the goal. There is always room for improvement though.

Pretty cool, nice design.

Thank you sir

should have 1 and 2 meals per day options, even though they are obvious

I thought about it, but decided against it. Should be easy enough to add though.

Great stuff!!

The TDEE formulae are unfortunately not very accurate. Even using Katch-McArdle with bf, it says my maintenance is at 2600 and I should bulk at 2900, despite the fact I actually have to bulk at 3400 or more for a pretty lean bulk.

That's not your fault though, the tool itself is very nice and user friendly. Repped.

[joeyrey]

I forget.. Is it recommended a 1g of protein per pound? Or 1g of protein per LBM?

[Gibb94]

Damn this is simple AND aesthetic af. gj, bookmarked that ****

[ppham27]

Why is the minimum 3 meals per day? I normally choose to eat 2. It's pretty easy to do the math myself and multiply by 3/2, but it's a bit annoying.

Good job Dave man

Is it that the Katch-McArdle is incorrect or that the numbers (though correct by way of the formula) don't justify with your real world experience for your body?
The calculations look correct to me, but the problem is that these are just calculators and cannot account for metabolism health. (which I think you are kind of eluding to)

I forget.. Is it recommended a 1g of protein per pound? Or 1g of protein per LBM?

I heave heard both ways.
I prefer to go off of lean mass since, muscle is alive and required nutrients and blood flow, while fat is just... fat.

But some people do it differently.
We based the calculator on total body weight, rather than lean mass, but there is enough functionality for the user to be able to make small changes I think..

will use later

[sawalke4]

Can you put 1 and 2 meals a day as an option for us intermittent fasting brahs please.

[exy]

iifym only works if briliant body cgenetics genes

[SquirtlePower]

hhnnngg, nice.


And wait, is OP the brah who posted about us picking our favorite oatmeal flavors and said list had a dozen epic flavors? If so, in for free oatmeal .

[BeingPaid]

What are the bulking and cutting percentages the calculator is using? 10% of maintenance? Why not add an option that allows you to view your calorie reqs with a 5% or 20% above/below maintenance?

(and FYI - amazing calculator! well done sir.)

It is the latter. Your Katch-McArdle formula is probably properly implemented (I have not compared with the actual formula, although I believe it does give me around these numbers), but I was mainly aiming at the fact that - indeed - the numbers that the formula poops out are very generic and do not account for individual metabolism (which it obviously can't).

So as I said, it's not your fault, it's the nature of trying to generically calculate TDEE, which is very person specific.

GJDM!

Repped.
Great page design as well. OP, PM a mod and request to add the site to your signature, as this is bodybuilding related, Im sure they wont have any problem with it if you stick a bodybuilding.com logo somewhere on your site
