Random online thing I found… neat!

Computer Analysis:
Your indicated weight goal:  135 pounds
Resting metabolic rate requires 1514 calories per day (basal energy expenditure).  This is the amount of calories required to maintain the body’s normal metabolic activity ( respiration, maintenance of body temperature etc. )
Important Details
 Maximum calories/day in order to lose weight: 1771
(In order to lose 1 to 1.5 pounds each week or (4-6 pounds/month) you must subtract 500 calories from your estimated daily caloric needs (2271.0). This total is derived based on the activity level you chose above and your basal energy expenditure.

Calories required to maintain current weight: 2271.0

Your BMI (body mass index) is:  24.3
Further analysis of your BMI: Your weight is in the normal rangeDesired range in kilograms:  53.4 to 70.3
Desired range in pounds:  117.5 to 154.7

BMI = Weight in (kg) / Height in (meters)2
The normal range is 19-25 for females and 20-25 for males.
 
Background information:
The BMI (body mass index) determines if your weight is in proportion to your height based on Federal guidelines released by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The BMI is helpful in  determining health risks and appropriate interventions.

Basal energy expenditure: the amount of energy required to maintain the body’s normal metabolic activity, i.e. respiration, maintenance of body temperature etc.
Male:  BEE = 66.67 + 13.75W + 5H - 6.76A    //   Female: BEE = 665.1 + 9.56W +1.85H -4.68A.
H= height in cm , W= weight in kg,  A= age in years.
Maintain current weight (calories) = BEE x activity factor
Maximum calories allowed that promote weight loss: (BEE x activity factor) - 500
