Hacker's Diet (Score:2)
You've probably long since heard of the Hacker's Diet [fourmilab.ch], which basically expounds on the simple calorie formula you described. However, I think it's invaluable, so if you haven't, I'm sure you'd enjoy checking it out. (Or for anyone reading who hasn't.) The author basically asserts that trying to exercise your way to lower weight is futile, though he certainly doesn't discount the value of exercise. He just believes in a primarily calorie-count-oriented plan of action with exercise as an optional side feature.
J. David works really hard, has a passion for writing good software, and knows many of the world's best Perl programmers
