Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x pounds) + (12.7 x inches) - (6.8 x age)

Add to this any calories burned from exercise and you'll have the magic
number of calories to maintain any given weight.

I've never seen that equation before!

exactly the same as the 1700 calories I set as my daily limit. Interesting!
