The BMR calculation is the same. You may be thinking about formulas for determining body fat percentage. The one that usually results in the highest fat percentage is the “Military” or “Navy” formula.

I ignore the blog posts almost entirely. The last time I read one, a so-called fitness expert was writing about ‘starvation mode.” Most of the people in the community forum don’t know what they’re talking about.

“Lose It” lets you track more goals than just weight, including body measurements and the amount of water you drink each day.”

Not condoining that, but math is more poorly taught than reading and it is less used by the ordinary person.

He didn’t “disagree” with it. He said such apps are helpful only for people with a very narrow range of problems.

I sew. I knew the string technique discussed at the end. I’ll occasionally use a coin or a template like the one below. The suggestions in the video were ingenious.

The people who are the butt of those jokes probably aren’t having a very good time, if they were even invited.

One of the problems I’ve had with some of the police shooting cases is that many of the people pulled over acted in a way that I as a black woman would never behave. Nor would any of my friends, black or any other color.

I saw that when I Googled. How was it? I read that the fresh shark meat was poisonous.

I thought it might be interesting to see what a really well-fitting shirt felt like. As for occasions, someone I knew couldn’t make up his mind about a truly fashion-forward pair of pants. He was unable to how they would fit into his life. He was told: “Change your life to fit the pants.” He bought them. But he was…

I do know what you mean about custom shirts being a luxury; you have to have enough to rotate and not wear them out. It’s great that you’ve found a line that fits pretty well — I’ve heard of that brand.

At least he’s strong and silent. :-) I don’t usually anthropomorphize the form as some people do, but I was trying to be cute.

Yes, darts can be added, but sometimes they distort the shirt or pull it off-grain, which makes it fit weirdly. I see a lot of online attempts by people (usually men) to alter their shirts. At times, they try to do too much. The benefit of taking a shirt to a tailor is that he or she can give you a realistic idea of…

When I was a kid, I used to buy Brooks Brothers shirts from the boy’s department, but then they stopped making them in 100% cotton.

Why do you think I’ve spent so much money and time on sewing and tailoring lessons? (I’m timid, thus have still not made as many things for myself as I’d like.)

If you can afford it, I would treat yourself to a couple of bespoke (pattern made from scratch off your measurements). Most men find a world of difference in a shirt that actually fits them,and it can be customized exactly as you like. The main problem, I hear, is that it’s hard to go back. :-)

I like that fellow’s tutorials. I’m not a man, but have taken some menswear sewing classes and am interested in men’s style. I wish womenswear adopted more of its values. I’m convinced that that there are women who would rather buy something of quality that looks and feels good and lasts for several years, instead of…

Minced pork I’m not eating unless I knew the pigs by name, in which case I’d probably feel comfortable eating them.

Two weeks ago, I watched a bunch of those satirical videos addressed to Trump: “America First [Our Country] Second. One of nation extolled the quality of its raw beef, which is eaten like fast food on bread, just as you describe. Was it Iceland, Estonia? I wish I could remember.
