Sports:Nutrition: Calculating your BMR

Here is the formula to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). 



Women: BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kilos ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )

Men: BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kilos ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in years )

Sports: Nutrition: Probiotics

Do probiotics work? Apparently, there is no strong evidence in favor of consuming probiotics by children  .  However, the consumption of probiotics by children was not harmful.  So is adult consumption of probiotics beneficial?  Maybe.  Unfortunately, the research article did not cover adult use of probiotics, but the health benefits of probiotics consumption in children only had modest health benefits.
