Hello, Andrea!
It’s the link below the second video.
Thanks!
Excellent. Thank you, EC! 🙂
Is the calorie number that gets spit out in that calculator for maintenance or for weight loss?
Hello Ben! I see I missed this; my apologies. Maintenace.
Just listened to you on Julie Foucher’s podcast. You were great and so is this video series!! I’ve been doing WAG for six months and it’s been really helpful. But the information you provided makes me feel I can do it on my own. Super informative. Thank you!
Hi Sarah! Oh, cool; thanks for stopping by! And glad you found the videos useful as well 🙂

This is great! How do you get your multipler?
Thanks, Alex! A combination of a lot of sources – between caloric estimates based on body weight, to what other sources recommend for macros, combined with my own experience.
Thank you for the reply!! I guess I just wanted to make sure it stays at 11 or do I change it.
Ah, I see. So, if your other factors change drastically, it’s good to recalculate. Like if your activity changes, body fat changes, etc., recalculate to get a new multiplier.
