Also, at nearly 60 years old, my basal metabolic burn rate (according to online calculators, so YMMV) is only about 225 calories lower __than my basal metabolic rate of 25-year-old-me (that is, at my current weight)__ per day. At my weight that is like a 30-40 walk. That result surprised the crap out of me.
