 If I want to walk 3.5 miles in one hour, it will be 17 minutes per mile.
 If I aim for 60% of maximum heart rate, which is good for a beginner, I should have a target rate of 100, and range of 92-142.
 At my age, body height, and weight, and being moderately active, (as opposed to nearly sedentary just 6 weeks ago), I would need 2760 calories to maintain my body weight. I do NOT WANT to maintain my body weight, so I am aiming for 1500 per day.
 If I go with 1500 calories, then they should be broken down into 600 calories in carbohydrates, and 450 each in protein and fat....not sure I agree with this one... what do the rest of you think????
 It says 32%??? My scale says 42% ....I wonder which is the more accurate???
 33...Is this number supposed to be close to the body fat percentage number? How are they different?
 135...that's what my average weight was in college and the early years of marriage, so this is probably pretty well on track, but being realistic, my body is not the same as it was way back then, so I would be very, very happy to be in the 140's.

BMI...multply your weight in lbs by 704.5, then divide the result by your height in inches, and divide that result by your height in inches a second time.
Hungrygirl.com says...Body mass index (BMI)
Your BMI is a measure of your weight in relation to your height. To determine your BMI, just divide your weight by the square of your height.
Body Fat
Your percent of body fat is , quite simply, the percentage of your total body weight that is made of fat.
Here are some links on measuring body fat in regard to your question on which calculation is correct...your scale or the button on my site...
