Hi Ryan,
Did it have to do with something like a healthy weight calculator? We do have that and other great tools on JM.com-- http://www.jillianmichaels.com/fit/.
That was one of them. She talked about the BMI and then one to do with heart rate when and figureing out your calories at rest. So I think there was like 3 different ones.
She talked about finding a BMR calculator online to establish how many calories your body burns just by simply being alive. And then, if your calculator doesn't ask what your activity level is, to find out your real base line, you multiply that number by 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 depending on how active you are during the day. 1.1 would be you sit at your job, 1.2 would be like a retail employee that's on their feet a lot, 1.3 would be like a trainer, and 1.4 would be like a construction worker. So then once you have that number, then you know how many calories you can eat per day and stay the same weight. To lose weight you create a deficit by eating less and exercising. Losing a pound of weight requires a deficit of 3500 calories, so you can literally do the math and figure out how much weight you want to lose per week and go at it! Although, I know she says 1200 calories should be the very minimum you consume if you're a woman, I can't remember what she says for men, I think 1400 or 1500. Hope this helps!
