So true. There is so much harmful information on the net and that calcination method you mentioned is something I picked up in the Eating Disorder sites. Which I think says enough! It's awful. 😔
Yes! That calculator says at 5’2 I should be 110 and the only time I was at that weight I was on a strong med that was making me sick and severely undernourished
But the 1964 Hamwi formula is the most realistic one when you consider that the results from it are at the high mark for any of the formulas. Think about it related to myself. I'm at 5 ft 11 in. Hamwi comes out to 171 pounds. Others come out much lower down to 158. That's six over my average high school weight in 1981, 1982! Yeah maybe you have to have a sport or dedicated exercise time and be geared to that, but it's totally reasonable to achieve. People who claim it's not just aren't willing to put the work in or make some alterations in how much they eat. A guy at 195 at my height, and I've been that heavy before at my absolute heaviest, so I know how that is, would absolutely have to be very heavily muscled for that to be not clearly and obviously overweight. Overweight to the tune of 16 pounds from the top of the BMI range or normal. You really can't go around kidding yourselves about this!

The expectations aren’t unrealistic, we just have a different idea of what is normal these days because the majority of people are fat
thank you
