Frequently asked questions

What BMI formula does this use?
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)². The standard WHO categories are: Underweight <18.5, Normal 18.5–24.9, Overweight 25–29.9, Obese ≥30.
What TDEE formula is used?
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR (the most accurate for most people), then multiplies by an activity factor to get TDEE. Male BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) − 5×age + 5. Female BMR = 10×weight + 6.25×height − 5×age − 161.
Is this a substitute for medical advice?
No. These are estimates based on population averages. Individual metabolism varies. Consult a healthcare professional before making significant dietary or exercise changes.
