| Background walking abandoned as blood alcohol over 120mg/100ml |
Too drunk. |
| Basal usage 63kc fat/glycogen 50kc/13kc, protein 2.2g |
The energy used to stay alive, this tends to be constant thoughtout the day. Once exercise recovery is introduced into the calculator it will change. |
| B/G walking 0.08 miles, used fat/glycogen 4kc/2kc |
The energy used by the walking that people do as part of their daily routine, around the office, to the bus etc. This is regarded as a background value, so it is displayed even it can't possibly be taking place, for example during a cycle ride. |
| Blood alcohol level is at serious risk of death, simulation abandoned |
the simulation has been abaondoned as it is difficult to model then body at these blood alcohol levels |

| BMR disabled for testing |
The calculator can have the processes that support life turned off to make it easier to understand a single food item or exercise. This is not avaialble to users normally. |
| Cycling abandoned as blood alcohol over 150mg/100ml |
The average power consumed by the cycling and where the needed energy came from. |
| Cycling at 166 watts, used fat/glycogen/ketones 277kc/150kc/143kc |
The average power consumed by the cycling and where the needed energy came from. Ketones or alcohol are automatically used as a replacement for glycogen, they aren't requested so do they don't show a requested/used pair only the used.
If the exercise used no ketones or alcohol then they will not be shown.
|
| Cycling at 166 watts, used fat/glycogen/ketones ratios (requested/used) 49%/49% 51%/26% 25% |
The average power consumed by the cycling and the ratios of where the needed energy came from. The requested is fat/glycogen is the calculated balance, the needed values are the
values actually used. They will be different when there is insufficient glycogen, excess ketones or alcohol in the system.
Ketones or alcohol are automatically used as a replacement for glycogen, they aren't requested so do they don't show a requested/used pair only the used.
If the exercise used no ketones or alcohol then they will not be shown.
|
| Cycling bodily efficiency 25% and 25g of body fat used |
How many grams of body fat were used to supply the energy and the overall bodily effiency applied to the energy use. This is the diffence between calories needed by the exercise and the calories used by the body to provide that energy. |
| Cycling cancelled as the Average ride speed must be less that 1.25 times the Average Speed For A 60 Minute Ride |
The questions "Average Speed For A 60 Minute Ride" and "Max Speed For 5 Minutes" are used to calculate how hard the cycle ride was for you rather than as average of everybody. The values that you entered for this one ride are so much greater than the control questions meaning that the calculator can't calculate the recovery load. |
| Cycling completed, 161kc of glycogen used and 196kc fat used, totalling 357kc |
The cycling has completed and the total energy used. |
| Cycling exercise calculated as VO2 max p%, then user adjusted to n%" |
The calculator calculated that the cycle ride was at p% of VO2 max and this was adjusted to n% because of a user specified adjustment. This
will affect the exercise recovery calculations significantly.
|

Once the body's glycogen limit is reached carbs are converted to fat. |
| Digest [Food item] converted 6g of protein to 54kc or 6.9g of body fat |
Once the body's protein limit is reached protein is converted to fat. |
| Digest [Food item] converted 6g of fat to 54kc or 6.9g of body fat |
Amount of fat extracted from the food item during the time period and how body fat it was converted in to and how many calories this is worth. This is not usually the total amount that will ultimately extracted. |

| Metabolised 21.2g of blood alcohol to 55kc and 0g of body fat |
Alcohol has been removed from the blood stream and this has yielded the specified amount of energy of which some/none has been converted to the fat. The energy value is left floating in the blood stream and will be used in preference to any other energy source. |
| Metabolise blood alcohol used 9.4kc |
The cost of metabolising alcohol.Unlike normal food items, alcohol is not tracked once it enter the blood stream as this would be too far from reality to be meaningful. |
| Nothing vomited as stomach is empty |
The blood alcohol level is so high that vomitting was attempted but there was noting to vomit. |
Protein levels are low
Protein levels are very low |
A warning message. |
