How would you calculate how much of everything you would need in a day if you are missing a limb? Would that throw off the calculator and give you the wrong results?

Hi @Josh_Brolin there is another thread discussing this, that you can have a look at! https://forums.cronometer.com/discussion/comment/1770#Comment_1770
Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer for this, but I would suggest using a wearable activity tracker to estimate calories burned, as standard MET calculations used in Cronometer's exercise database, will probably be slightly off.

The best approach would be to get your resting metabolic rate measured. You can also approximate your calorie needs by determining estimated body weight loss (EBWL). This is a really handy calculator for determining this value:
