Today I learn something from Dave Jackson’s Logical Weight Loss podcast: calories burned depends on, among other things, total body weight. So I’ll be getting more accurate information from my fitness watch now as I periodically update my weight in the app. The end of the “Biggest Loser” contest at work, which I am going to win by the way, is so close I can taste it, and I plan to immediately resume a more reasonable weight management diet and exercise plan after the final weigh-in. I saw, in the grocery store, a Weight Watchers brand scale that provides BMI, body fat percentage, weight of fat and lean body mass, and possibly even more. So for cheap, you can get this information and track it. As body composition, not weight, is a healthier way to judge overall fitness, I think this is a valuable thing to have. Equally valuable to me is having a log in which I track my caloric intake. Here is a scan of one of my logs:
