You have found the source for what are possibly the most easy to use tools for goal setting, meal calorie planning, fat loss planning, and documenting your fat loss. These tools have been designed to reduce the amount of time you spend planning and tracking your fat loss progress. The key to knowing how your body losses fat and gains muscle is a complete understanding of what you have been doing and more importantly has it been working.

I am an accountant who over the past few years has tried all kinds of diets and exercise programs. I thought I was accomplishing something when I lost a little weight and felt a little stronger. Each time I read about a diet or exercise program I became more convinced that most programs were designed just to sell the plan, the supplement, or piece of equipment.

After purchasing the e-book “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle?by Tom Venuto I realized that there are some people who are sincerely interested in providing the straight forward facts about fat loss and muscle gain. The information that I learned from this book motivated me to develop the fat loss tools that would help me understand how I lose fat and gain muscle. I have no desire to compete in body building but I do want to be trim, strong, have plenty of energy, and be healthy.

If you want to learn how these tools can be beneficial to you read on!

Your Basal Metabolic Rate is defined as the number of calories you need each day to maintain your current body weight. Tom Venuto in his e-book “Burn the Fat and Feed the Muscle?states that there are three basic methods of determining your BMR. The three methods are the Harris-Benedict Total Daily Energy Expenditure, Katch-McArdle Lean Body Mass, and the Quick Method. I have designed one worksheet that contains all three methods for both men and women.

In the Harris-Benedict model you just enter your weight, age, height, activity level and the model calculates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). The Katch-McArdle model only requires that you enter your Lean Body Mass to calculate your TDEE. Entering your weight in the Quick Method model will determine your TDEE.

Initially, I used all three of these methods to estimate a good starting point for my daily meal plans.

My Goal Weight Progress Chart really has two purposes. First, to calculate your goal weight based on a targeted percent of body fat and second, to track your progress at reaching your goal weight over fifty-two weeks.

This chart requires the single site, Illiac Crest, skinfold thickness measurement which you can obtain using the low cost Accu-Measure device.

I wasted a lot of time and energy exercising and achieved minimal results until I understood the importance of being in the fat burning zone. There are many books and exercise programs that could help you lose fat, but if you want optimal results you must understand how to eat right and how to exercise effectively. Tom Venuto’s comprehensive yet straight forward explanation of diet and exercise can help you get past the over-hyped fat loss programs that only work for the short run.

Tom explains a number of methods to determine if you are exercising in the fat burning zone. I have created models for two of those methods.

The Karvonnen Method requires your age, resting heart rate and the intensity level of your exercise. The Age Predicted Method only requires your age and the intensity level of your exercise. Using both of these methods you can zero in on when you are actually exercising in the fat burning zone.

So what does a Meal Calorie Planner that is so easy to use and with all the features outlined above cost? I was told I should charge at least $100.00. I found one website where they were asking $4.95 per month or $55.00 per year to access their meal planner which has less features than mine and they have your data. I am anxious for anyone who wants to understand how they lose fat to use the tools that work for me so I am offering the Meal Calorie Planner and the six extras for just $24.00.  $19.00

Now is the time to get all of these tools and get started on your own fat loss plan.

When you place your order on the secure server, you will be directed to my download page. You will be able to download the files containing all of the tools. All of the tools were designed using Microsoft Excel so if you have Excel you should be able to use them immediately.

Using these tools and knowledge I gained from Tom’s e-book I went from 30% body fat to 21% in the first twenty weeks. I can not only see and feel the difference in my body, but I can also monitor what is happening to my body week by week. By downloading these tools you will be able to quickly determine your Basal Metabolic Rate, design a Meal Calorie Plan with healthy foods, calculate your Fat Burning Zone, determine your goal weight, and track your progress weekly.

You will notice that there is only one link on this page to another product. There are no links to supplements, exercise equipment, or any of the “lose weight with no effort?web sites. My only purpose is to give you the benefit of what I have learned and developed.

I understand that it takes knowledge, effort and commitment to be successful at losing fat. I also understand that the planning and tracking process should not take a lot of your time. We all have a limited amount of time and if the fat loss planning and tracking takes too much time it will become easy to quit before you get a change to eat and exercise in a way that will optimize your fat loss.

The way to stay committed and working on fat loss is by setting goals, creating a plan and then having enough information to know that the plan is working to meet your goal.

How many times have you tried to lose weight without a goal and without a plan? I would guess many times and usually without much long term success. What happens when you haven’t planned what you a going to eat? You eat what is convenient and it usually is high in calories and bad fat. How do you determine if your plan is consistently working or if you have reached a plateau and need to revise your plan to break the plateau? It’s really hard if you haven’t been recording what you have been eating and whether you have been burning more calories than you take in.

My wife no longer says to me “What would you like to eat?? we know what we are going to eat for every meal of the week. We plan the meals for the week and prepare what food we can in advance of the day we eat it. We decide what we like to eat without being force into some plan with food we don’t like or which may have the wrong macronutrient ratios. We can adjust our individual weekly plans at any time to changes in our metabolism or to break a plateau. We do all this in our own home using the principles found in “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle?and my Fat Loss Tools.
