Free Health & Fitness Calculators
These free health and fitness calculators estimate energy needs, macronutrients, body composition, strength and blood-sugar averages using published, peer-reviewed equations, including Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR and the U.S. Navy circumference method for body fat. Each page names its formula so results can be checked.

Health & fitness terms explained
Glossary โ- Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR)
- The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) gives the share of daily calories from carbohydrate, fat and protein linked to adequate nutrients and lower chronic disease risk.
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy the body uses at complete physical, mental and digestive rest; it is the largest part of daily calorie needs and is usually estimated by formula.
- Mifflin-St Jeor Equation
- The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is a 1990 formula that estimates resting energy expenditure in calories per day from weight, height, age and sex; it is widely used to estimate BMR.
- Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
- Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is the total calories the body burns in a day, combining resting metabolism, the thermic effect of food and all physical activity.
Frequently asked questions
Which BMR formula do these calculators use?
The BMR and macro calculators use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is widely used to estimate resting energy needs in healthy adults.
How accurate is the body fat calculator?
It uses the U.S. Navy circumference method, which estimates body fat from height, neck, waist and (for women) hip measurements. It is a practical estimate, typically within a few percentage points of lab methods, not a clinical measurement.
Are these calculators medical advice?
No. They are educational estimates. For medical questions, including anything about A1C or blood sugar, talk to a doctor or registered dietitian.
