💪 Health & Fitness
BMI, calorie, hydration, and fitness calculators — 18 free tools available. No signup required.
Calculators for energy needs, body composition, hydration, training and sleep — the numbers used to plan, not to diagnose.
Every one of these applies a published equation to figures you type, and each page names the equation, cites where it came from, and states the population it was derived from. That last part is the one usually omitted elsewhere and it is the one that determines whether a result applies to you.
None of this is medical advice, none of it is a diagnosis, and no calculator can account for your medical history. Anything that matters should be discussed with a clinician.
Where to start
- TDEE & Calorie Calculator — Mifflin-St Jeor with activity multipliers, and an explanation of why the multiplier is the weak link.
- Macro & Calorie Deficit Calculator — Splits a calorie target into protein, carbohydrate and fat with the reasoning shown.
- US Navy Body Fat Calculator — Uses the US Navy circumference method and states its real error margin.
- Daily Water Intake Calculator — Scales with body weight and activity rather than repeating the eight-glasses myth.
- Target Heart Rate Calculator — Training zones from measured or estimated maximum, with the estimate's spread made explicit.
- Running Pace & Split Calculator — Pace, time and distance in any direction, with split tables.

BMI was designed for populations, not people
Body mass index divides weight by height squared. It was devised to describe populations and it does that job adequately. Applied to an individual it cannot distinguish muscle from fat, ignores where fat is distributed — which is the part most associated with metabolic risk — and systematically misclassifies muscular people as overweight and people with low muscle mass as healthy. It also behaves differently across ethnic groups, which is why several health bodies use adjusted thresholds. It is a rough screening number and nothing more; waist circumference and body fat percentage carry more information about an individual.
The activity multiplier is where the error lives
Resting metabolic rate equations such as Mifflin-St Jeor are reasonably accurate — typically within about 10% for most people. The large uncertainty enters when that figure is multiplied by an activity factor chosen from a short list of descriptions, because people consistently overestimate which bracket they are in and the brackets themselves are wide. The practical approach is to treat any TDEE figure as a starting estimate, hold it for two or three weeks, and adjust based on what actually happens to your weight. That measured feedback is worth more than any equation.
Hydration does not have a single number
The "eight glasses a day" figure has no clinical basis and is not the recommendation of any major health body. Actual requirements vary with body size, activity, ambient temperature, humidity and diet — food contributes a substantial share of total intake, which fixed-glass advice ignores entirely. Sweat rates differ several-fold between individuals doing identical exercise. Thirst is a reasonable guide for most people in ordinary conditions, and for sustained exercise in heat, measuring weight change across a session is far more informative than any formula.
Maximum heart rate estimates have a wide spread
The familiar 220 minus age has a standard deviation of roughly ten to twelve beats per minute, meaning a substantial fraction of people sit more than twenty beats from their predicted value. Training zones derived from an estimated maximum inherit all of that error, so a zone boundary calculated this way can easily be wrong by a zone. Newer formulas fit the data slightly better but do not fix the fundamental spread. If zone training matters to you, a measured maximum or a lactate threshold test is a different order of accuracy.
Frequently asked questions
Is any of this medical advice?
No. These are calculators that apply published equations to numbers you enter. They cannot account for your medical history, medication or individual circumstances. Consult a qualified clinician for anything that matters.
Is my health data stored?
No. Every calculation runs in your browser. Weight, height, age and everything else you enter stay on your device and are never transmitted.
Which equation does the calorie calculator use?
Mifflin-St Jeor for resting metabolic rate, which is the equation most commonly recommended for general use. The page names it, shows the formula and cites the source.
Why do two calculators give me different numbers?
Because they use different published equations, derived from different study populations. The spread between them is real and is a useful indication of how much uncertainty any single figure carries.
Is BMI useful at all?
As a population-level screening measure, yes. For an individual it is a crude indicator that cannot separate muscle from fat. Treat it as one input among several rather than a verdict.
