Health Tools

BMI, BMR, body fat, macros and hydration estimates, each page naming the method it uses.

What to know about health tools

Each of these applies a specific published equation, and the page names it: BMI uses the WHO definition, resting metabolic rate uses Mifflin-St Jeor, body fat uses the US Navy circumference method, and estimated due dates use Naegele's rule. Knowing which method produced a number is the difference between a figure you can look up and one you simply have to trust.

All of them are population averages applied to an individual. They cannot see muscle mass, medical conditions, medication, or anything about how you actually live. That is why a very muscular person often reads as overweight by BMI, and why a normal reading rules nothing out.

Nobody with medical training has reviewed these pages. Use them to get oriented, then talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian before you change how you eat, train or medicate.

Frequently asked

Is BMI accurate for an individual?

It was designed to describe populations, not people. It uses only height and weight, so it cannot tell muscle from fat — an athlete and a sedentary person of the same build get the same score. Take it as one rough indicator among several.

Which of these numbers should I actually act on?

None of them on their own. They are starting points for a conversation with a clinician, who can weigh them against your history, bloodwork and circumstances.

Are my measurements stored or sent anywhere?
