That's easy.
Mouse over picture - ctrl+c;
Mouse over microsoft paint - ctrl+v.
Done.
The statement should say "Burn energy", or better yet, "burn food" or some other fuel. Calories are a unit of measurement of energy, and in Australia we use the Joule, or, more commonly the kilojoule anyway.
Now, onto the irony of the statement. Substantially more energy is used to drive a car than to pedal a bicycle. Whether you measure the energy consumed in kilojoules or calories, the amount will be higher if you use a car. Therefore, if you want to "burn calories", you should use a car.
Next, for correct grammatical construction, commas should not be substituted for full stops without a conjunction after each comma.
Perhaps the slogan should read something like this.
Burn less energy. Save cash. Get there on time.

im sitting in front of the TV watching 'the boat that rocked' and eating pasta. Thought about doing rollers, did some sit ups instead. Working from 5.30 am till 5.00pm kind of killed me.
far out! thats early work!
i did 3 heart rates tonight at about 58km an hour, then down to 54.
then my bikes weird noises started worrying me too much, then i went off and did two dance classes. Up at 6 n morning, seriously will need motivation tomorrow and even more the next day!

It's killing me, my exercise calories exceeded my total intake. Today should be a little better.Wow, you eat a lot. That's awesome. You're eating three times what I should be on and you are calling that a diet? I would hate to see a normal food diary in your world.
How much is basal calories?
There are a few methods for determining this. The second is the most accurate, apparently, but you need to know your body fat percentage
Method 1 -
(for men): 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
(for women): 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)
Method 2-
370 + (21.6 X lean mass in kg)
You are then supposed to times that by your activity factor, but if you are calculating exercise calories manually on your own then I would times the BMR by 1.2 (which is for no exercise and a desk job) and then work out your own calorie expenditure for exercise on top of that.

Dude, that profile raises two very important questions:Excellent timing Tim, I signed up to Calorie King today and I'm feeling real hungry
http://www.calorieking.com.au/public/?member=mikesbytes
* When do you find time to sleep or work?
* Nescafe? WTF? Do you wanna get banned from the club or something? Take that off your profile ASAP before word gets out we have an instant coffee drinker in the club. We'll be a laughing stock
Far out! You lads do this stuff a lot more accurately than me!
The only things I reallY about are how many milk shakes I drink, and getting my self motivated for heart rate training!
Well I guess I worry about what I will wear to dancing! Those girls put so much effort in?!

I haven't had it measured, but based on historical measurements and the aid of a mirror (it ain't a pretty sight) I'd say 15%, so that gives me a lean body mass of 71kg
Ok then, so say your maintenance without exercise (but taking into account your daily activity of sitting at a desk and working, or being bored…) is 2284 caloriesI haven't had it measured, but based on historical measurements and the aid of a mirror (it ain't a pretty sight) I'd say 15%, so that gives me a lean body mass of 71kg
Then on a day like yesterday you go and burn what - about 2500 calories in exercise? That's a total of 4784 burnt for the day. You ate 4112, so you had a deficit of 762, which I would say is pretty healthy. If you go over a deficit of 1000 you will start to get problems, not be mention be a starving mess. All of that depends on the accuracy of the calorie counting tool for exercise - which I would be very skeptical of. I would NOT be relying on Calorie King as it grossly over estimates.
Anyway, I'm no expert so don't take this as gospel. Perhaps Othy should be giving us the advice - we've seen the before and after pics!

For a 45 minute class;
The Females ranged 379 thru 470 with an average of 412
The Males ranged 511 thru 782 with an average of 707
I'd say that I'd be the 782 [excuse the ego trip]
Calorie King as defaulted to 731 so I'm happy with that. Not so sure on the calorie burn on the bike commuting
So based on the calorie king figures, be they right or wrong;
2284 + 3393 = 5677 - 3023 = 2654 deficit
Even allowing for inaccuracy I seriously under ate yesterday

Born with too many X chromosomes ah , those with Y chromosomes burn almost double the calories according to that study
BTW did I under eat, or is the deficit OK ?
BTW did I under eat, or is the deficit OK ?
I believe you under ate, but you don't know if those guesstimates of expenditure are correct. I suppose if you wore a HRM you would be able to guesstimate a bit better. It seems excessive, considering you need to shed 7000 calories to lose a kilo - at this rate you will be losing about 2.5kg's a week, which sounds impossible to me. And if you were to do that it certainly wouldn't be just fat you were losing.
The recommendation for a deficit is either minus 500, or 20% of your maintenance level. The upper limit is 1000 - that doesn't mean it's what you should be aiming for.
Given the confusion here, maybe you should try and remember a pre-diet days eating habits and punch the data into your diary. I mean you haven't put on that much weight, so you were probably eating close to maintenance before anyway.

Thanks V
Tuesday is a bit of a dodgy day to base typical calorie expenditure as I spent 3h20m on bikes (indoor and outdoor combined). Wednesday will be more representable.
Building towards the world master games and uci world masters track championships I was deliberately over eating to build strength so I need to look further back. I do recall trying to eat 4,000 healthy calories, but its hard going, easier to eat junk to get to 4,000.
I think I'm low on Protein, will analyse the data.
If I get it right, I'm targeting a mini cut, bulk, cut, bulk etc cycle, perhaps using 3 - 4kg in the cycle.

I can send you what we used at uni when we were calculating this stuff. The equation Victoria gave you for Resting Metabolic Rate was basically right (though rounded off):
Harris-Benedict (1919) (Kcal)
Males: RMR = 66.47 + 13.75 (wt) + 5(ht) - 6.76 (age)
Then used a physical activity record to calculate total daily energy expenditure.
Used foodworks to calculate energy expenditure.
My average daily intake was 16235.9kJ and average expenditure 15733.9kJ/day. So seemed to work out close enough.
Anyway, i believe all your numbers are in kcal. I also think your food record is under reported. Looking at tuesday, you only had a drink with breakfast, what about the rest of the day? any snacks? You have to be really accurate to get a good report. And i'd try using a physical activity record for calculating your energy expenditure, finding numbers around the place doesn't take everything into account.

Tuesday is accurate, there were no unreported snacks.
Wednesday complete now. I went to dinner at a Mexican and have included the food, but there would be a degree of inaccuracy in it. Haven't analysed it.

COMPULSIVE EXERCISE (A.K.A. Exercise anorexia)
Exercise anorexia involves low food intake with compulsive exercise behaviors. The person with this eating disorder often goes undetected due to the lack of information about the harmful effects of over exercise behaviors. Furthermore, the compulsive exerciser may eat an average amount of food, disregarding others from being alarmed. However, compulsive exercise behaviors cause bodily harm much like anorexic and bulimic consequences and likewise, exercise anorexia can be fatal.

Mike eats over 16,800 kJ per day. That's not a low food intake.
Orphic has an advantage over others, in that she can regulate how much of the food she eats gets stored as fat. However, the long term complications can be unpleasant, to say the least.

Wow that's a long way
When asked today at work how far my commute is, I told him 8.5k, he responded with is that each way or return? He was astonished to hear me say "return"
I'm not even going to bother to report the other questions he asked

Lives are overrated. It's always being eaten by something. Bikes. Kids. Work etc
Just thinking, wot can be a better lifestyle?
Some people say that it's great to be on an ocean liner cruise ship. But on a cruise, you eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, sleep...
Some people say backpacking is fun... but cyclists do that all the time when touring iniit?
Most of the people I know are miserable because they don't have a purpose in life. I don't think that's a problem here. Everyone has a goal here and they are passionate about it.

lol id say that is bike related, and you can probably start a thread for it if you like, we dont have a heap of actual interesting threads, so we can do with more
If i was a mod id swap it into one for you, but id say you might as well just start a new one.
(im at work, so went into the link, but didnt actually listen to it)
