How to use these health calculators
Most health and fitness planning is easier when you start with energy balance. Get a reasonable estimate of maintenance calories, then choose a goal (lose fat, maintain, gain muscle) and make small adjustments based on weekly trends.
Recommended order:
- Estimate maintenance with the TDEE Calculator.
- Convert maintenance into a target using the Calorie Deficit Calculator.
- Track body composition context with the Body Fat Calculatorand use the Ideal Body Weight Calculatoras a simple height-based reference.
