Hmmm, that's a pretty neat formula...only problem with it is it isn't accurate for some people...like myself...this is where resting heart rate is important and MVO2 measurements because it will define caloric consumption much more accurately...Example:
200 lbs x 12 = 2400
2400 x .2 = 480
2400 - 480 = 1920
Limit your calories to 1920 a day.
As an example, if you have a high MVO2 (maximum volume of Oxygen uptake) you're likely to have a lower resting heart rate and so you can push the "acceptable Heart Rate limit" up or down a few beats (or as many as you're capable of) and this will affect where your body burns calories most effectively...
It doesn't have to be that complicated...and the formula will work for most people...only if you're blessed with an incredibly athletic body (as I was...lol) does it become an issue...
