I read “Metabolism Makeover” in the June issue of IDEA Fitness journal, but it didn’t get into what to do with that info. I did find a formula based on activity level in an older NSCA manual, I just want to know if that is still the best formula

Hi Carrie
I am curious about what you actually want to do? This would help me give you a better reply.
There are numerous metabolic calculations that can determine caloric expenditure if you know Vo2 max, weight, and mode of exercise (see ACSM for these formulas). However I believe the NSCA calculations by Debra Wein the RD will serve you well.
