How this calculator works
BMI = mass(kg)/height(m)². BMR follows Mifflin–St Jeor. TDEE = BMR × activity factor. Body fat follows US Navy circumferences (cm).
Important assumptions
General educational estimates only; BMI and body-fat formulas are imperfect and do not diagnose health. TDEE and fluid needs vary by activity, climate, pregnancy, medications and medical conditions. The fluid estimate uses 35 mL/kg as a simple planning assumption; consult a clinician where needed.
