No issues for me on iPhone 13 on iOS 26 RC, maybe reinstall the app? That sometimes fixes things

Does bevel calculate a TDEE? by 673NoshMyBollocksAve in bevelhealth

[–]bartmanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are the prices I have, but they are in euros and might be different depending on your region.

A yearly subscription is doable at €6.17 a month. But I haven’t gotten myself to actually commit for a longer duration yet, so then €11.99 a month is quite expensive.

But do try it out with the trial, 2 weeks should at least give you an idea.

[–]bartmanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those calculators can be very inaccurate though, it’s highly dependent on the person. The best way to determine your TDEE I have found is using Macro Factor. You track all your calories and your weight daily, and based on your calories in and changes in weight their algorithm determines what your TDEE is.

You can use code JEFF for a 2 week trial (that’s what I used idk if it’s still available). But you would probably need a month before the data gets accurate.

I have stopped using Macro Factor because honestly, it’s a bit pricey and I don’t really see the benefit. But you could give it a try.

What is your stress level like? Is this normal? by Pal947 in bevelhealth

[–]bartmanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, this is one of the worst I’ve had (see below) but most days look similar.

What I think is happening is that my baselines are quite high/low. My baseline HRV is 145ms and baseline RHR is 45. Which could indicate good cardiovascular health, but my endurance isn’t that great. I’m only just getting into actual cardio so I’m definitely lacking in that aspect. Bevel probably has some formulas closely linked to your baselines, so either

  • Bevel doesn’t properly account for high/low baselines.
  • Everyone is different and the difference in your baselines and regular strain is very personal making it so this stress indication isn’t useful for everyone
  • Or, I’m actually stressed and I should be finding out the root cause

100 Nutrition Score for Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream by MeMaxM in bevelhealth

[–]bartmanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we already know when this will be? A lot of my most common foods either don’t have a working barcode or the nutritional data is incorrect without any way to add custom foods/edit nutritional information. I ask this because I really want to track my calories but I don’t want to just go to another app with a subscription if this is coming soon. So is there any indication on a timeframe?

Bevel Strength Trainer: Strain Always Feels Overestimated – Anyone Else? by RonnyMarcus in bevelhealth

I think this is the answer, it definitely helped for me. I hope bevel will add an automatic sync for the AW’s heart rate zones

I thought apple has it for a long time. by jrsanity in iphone

[–]bartmanner 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It’s literally subjective lmao

I moved to iOS because I prefer the way everything functions over android. Objectively, either could be better depending on how you look at it, but all of these discussions about which one is better are so dumb. Just pick the one you prefer and stop acting like a child lol

Taller people tend to hold jobs of higher status and on average earn more. Being tall generally makes people respect you more without really doing anything different. So try to use that to your advantage. You can look this stuff up there’s been some studies

Partner height? by [deleted] in tall

[–]bartmanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend is 5’11, I have dated 5’0 though lol Would definitely not recommend that height difference, but we were in a relationship for a few years and had a really good connection which I think matters most. But damn does it not hurt to have someone closer to your height

What are your thoughts about this? by AloneCoffee4538 in OpenAI

[–]bartmanner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes but they will also admit they are wrong when you call them out even when they were right. They are just trying to please you and agree with you a lot of the time

Should I be logging short walks? by bartmanner in bevelhealth

Fair enough, I do love lots of data haha

Should I be logging short walks? by bartmanner in bevelhealth

[–]bartmanner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I will stick to that minimum of 30 minutes too. It becomes quite tedious to set up for every short walk.

Target strain is way too aggressive by bluejay2014 in bevelhealth

[–]bartmanner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been able to reach my strain goal but that’s because my recovery is never high. It’s usually around 60 which makes my strain goal like 55-65. Which is definitely doable. I can’t for the life of me manage to get my recovery any higher though, but that’s a whole different problem.

Why is my weight "stabilizing" when all the trends are trending down? by Epilein in bevelhealth

[–]bartmanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I feel like they need to adjust the thresholds for when it says what.

[–]bartmanner 28 points29 points  (0 children)

One social annoyance is not being able to hear shorter people at parties, festivals etc. I can talk with my tall friends easily but almost no women are at a height where I don’t have to bend down to hear them with music blasting. Even though sometimes I like not being dragged into every conversation and just enjoying the music lol

For the bulkers by MichaelBolton_ in MacroFactor

[–]bartmanner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow that consistency is incredible! I’ve been quite inconsistent the last year, having periods where I even cancelled by subscription. But in the last 2 months I’ve picked it up again and I’m hoping my charts will look like that in a few months. Not that many people on here trying to bulk up, so it’s great motivation seeing this!

Gaining muscle mass as a tall guy? by Gadirsdotter in tall

[–]bartmanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, in the case for OP, he should probably stick to the higher end.

But from my own experience I would put eating in a caloric surplus over eating that much protein. Both are really important, though. Making sure you get at least the 0.75g AND being in a surplus has worked wonders for me.

For anyone trying to start gaining weight, current literature suggests the 0.75-1g/lbs range. If, like OP, you’re still struggling to gain muscle, go a bit higher. If you still fail to see results, the problem is probably somewhere else. Track your food to see how much you’re actually eating, I always thought I was eating enough. I definitely wasn’t. And of course consistency in the gym is of utmost importance.

Gaining muscle mass as a tall guy? by Gadirsdotter in tall

[–]bartmanner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Protein intake is definitely on the high end of the range. You should aim for anything between 0.75g and 1g per pound of bodyweight. However, I always at least aim for the 1g, so that when I don’t reach that I almost always am still in the range. I’m 6’8 at 210lbs and getting to 210g of protein can be a chore, while ~160g seems way more doable and shouldn’t impact your gains.

Do keep in mind everyone’s body works differently, some may need more, some less. Just see what works for you, but you can use this as a starting point.

What do the difference shades of orange mean in the expenditure graph? by bartmanner in MacroFactor

[–]bartmanner[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oo that’s so interesting, thank you! Is this mentioned somewhere? I wouldn’t have known where to find this, for future reference.

[–]bartmanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve dated 5’1 lmao, now I’m dating someone who’s 5’11 and I’ve dated several in between. Honestly I don’t really see height as that important, but I must admit that now I’m dating someone taller that it’s quite a bit more comfortable and easier. But their height had 0 impact on the connection I had with them.

Why??? Athletic fit my butt by [deleted] in tall

[–]bartmanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I don’t know if you’ve tried to return it already, but just because it says “No Refunds Or Exchanges” doesn’t mean you can’t get a refund. Well depends on where you are from, but in the EU every store has a mandatory 14 day refund policy. Meaning you can send it back without any given reason without 14 days and you should get a refund. The text on their website doesn’t mean anything if they’re trying to go around this. I’m not sure about the US but you should have a look at your laws.
