Resting Metabolic Rates and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) Calculations

This page was designed as a service for the readers of Dr. Ellis's books. Without reading the books, you won't have the explanation of the content on this page and it may be difficult for non-readers to make sense of the output arriving from the calculations this page provides.Enter your values in the fields for bodyweight (pounds or Kg), height (inches or Cm) and age, and check the appropriate gender. Then click the "Calculate" button to calculate your Body Mass Index and your predicted RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate).

Enter:
Pounds:			Kg:
Height (in):			Cm:
Age:		Male   Female

Body Mass Index:

Wt (kg) ÷ Ht (m2) = BMI

Males:	RMR=(9.99 X weight (kg)) + (6.25 X height (cm)) - (4.92 X age) + 5
Females:	RMR=(9.99 X weight (kg)) + (6.25 X height (cm)) - (4.92 X age) - 161

Predicted RMR:

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)

TDEE can be expressed as a multiple of RMR. For a lifestyle of light activity, TDEE is 1.55 times RMR. A very high TDEE (as in a professional athlete in heavy training) is 2.4 times RMR. The list below shows a projected TDEE as a multiple of your predicted RMR, based on the values you entered above.

Introducing Dr. Ellis’s Ultimate Diet Secrets lite

UDS-lite: My Pared-Down Version of the 600 Page Ultimate Diet Secrets

Now, I Do Love Ultimate Diet Secrets Because it’s a Book All About My Life’s Work

I’ve got everything in there that I’ve learned during the last 48 years about bodyweight regulation including:

• diet
• exercise
• and all of the important factors involved in the process

But since I introduced UDS in late 2002, there were those who said it was too big and some who simply did not want to plunk down $60 for a weight loss book, as you’ll see.

Book advisors had warned me about this, but I paid no heed.

I knew what I wanted to write and that it was far different than any book ever written about this subject before, and so did my readers.

But, I’m all about giving people what they want and I don’t want anyone who’s interested in weight loss and weight control to miss out on the most ground-breaking information ever presented on this topic because of issues related to size and price.

So, because of consumer demand, I put UDS on a post-holiday diet and trimmed it down by 350 pages. Amazingly, readers will still get all of the critical information they need for success. I know that I never could have written UDS-lite first; it could have arisen only out of the larger book.

How’d I Do It?

I cut out some of the chapters that were not directly related to the weight loss process. These included:

• Chapter 24 (Refined Foods: Sugar and White Flour)
• Chapter 25 (Vegetarianism)
• Chapter 6 (Plumbing the Depths of Academia: Cholesterol and Heart Disease)
• Chapter 21 (my detailed analysis of all the flaws, misinformation, and downright bad ideas behind most of the popular weight loss plans)
• and the Epilogue to my personal story

I also combined several Chapters and cut down on a lot of my autobiographical Chapters (even though my readers love them). In UDS, I used many pages to detail all the science and WHYS about how the body regulates its weight, so out went a lot of that, leaving you with just the HOW TO DO IT and enough explanation about the WHYS so you understand the basics of HOW it all works.

Instead of keeping the big page format for the paper, I folded it in half, reducing the page size to 5½ by 8½ inches.

Several years ago one of my clients said, “Give it all to me in 150 pages.” I argued that I couldn’t possibly do that. But, I was wrong… I could, but I needed to write the big book first to act as a template for UDS-lite.

The result? The best weight loss book ever written (and the only one you’ll ever need) is now available in a quick-reading, right-to-the-point, more standard size and price, and it’s absolutely competitive with an SRP of $24.95 as a printed book and $20.95 as an e-book.

Which Version is Right for You?

• if you want to become an expert in the subject of weight control and know everything possible about the subject, buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big
• if you want to know and fully understand the science about how the body regulates its weight so you’ll truly understand all the processes involved and how you can control them, buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big
• if you would like to read more about my background, the years I’ve put into researching and studying all this information, buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big
• if you want to read all about the ‘other’ diets and exercise routines I’ve tried over the years and what the results were, buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big
• buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big — if you want the most information — information that will truly give you control over your weight and dramatically improve your quality of life

Also, as you’ll see on my Order Page for UDS-lite, when you buy either the printed or e-book version of the full-size Ultimate Diet Secrets, you’ll get e-book versions of the other two books in this series, my Spectrum Training System — my resistance training guide, and Vitamin & Mineral Hoax, my guide to supplements — a $32.90 value), absolutely free!

However, if you just want the crucial information you need to control your weight, buy lite:

• if you want all the HOW-TOs but don’t care to know all the WHYS (the science behind it all), buy UDS-lite
  and if you aren’t interested in my background or my research (maybe you’ve already decided you trust my advice), buy UDS-lite
• if you just want a quick-reading book that gets you on the path to weight loss success as fast as possible and you don’t want the free training guide and supplement guide, buy UDS-lite
• or if you just don’t want to or can’t spend $60 to become an expert on weight loss, buy UDS-lite
  and if you decide later that you want any of the missing information from UDS, you’ll see that on the Order Page, every chapter of the full-size book is available for purchase as an e-book (or e-chapter)

You simply can’t go wrong — just buy the extra chapters you want at any time.

And remember: there’s no book out there on weight loss that even comes close to what I am offering, regardless of which version you choose. What I teach is the way it works, this was true 3 million years ago and will be true 3 million years from now unless we up-end our genetic make-up.
