[Chicago] Marmir Initial Feedback

[Randy Baxley]

Thank you for the link.

I have used it, FitDay and SparkPeople over the last 10 years.

Here is the reason for doing my own.

NUTRITIONAL GOALSTARGETNet Calories Consumed* / Day1,550 Calories / DayCarbs
/ Day213 gFat / Day52 gProtein / Day58 g

*Net calories consumed = total calories consumed - exercise calories
burned. So the more you exercise, the more you can eat!
FITNESS GOALSTARGET

If you follow this plan...

My body requires a lot more protein.   Chosing one's own graphs allows one
to tailor to their bodies needs.  Friends with transplants, cancer, auto
immune diseases and those taking blood thinners have their own special
needs and these sites are just too tailored to the very close to perfect
person.  I have lost some 270 pounds eating low carb and would be dead if I
ate that many carbs because my body which is different would think I had
just downed 2 liters of Everclear.

So I want to build one tailored to folks who eat fat and protein instead of
carbs and for people who need to lose more than the two pounds a week limit.
