BMR/BMI Calculator

This has a javascript calculator for your Basal Metabolic Rate. I'm not sure how accurate it is, since it says that I need a base of 2049 (which does not include the calories used by sitting.

• If you assume I sit for 12 hours a day, my caloric needs are up to 3057.


• If you assume I also lift for an hour, that requires another 720 calories, for a total of 3777.

If lifting burns 228 more calories per hour than running, I do not understand why women who want to lose weight do cardio and don't lift. It's just crazy. Granted, you need to do some cardio to keep your metabolism up, but it still seems like you would want to lift. Especially with the toning and whatnot.
