Health calculators for weight, food, fitness and cycles
Small numbers help with big health goals. Knowing your BMI, the calories you burn in a day or the protein you need makes it easier to plan meals, set a realistic target and notice progress. These free health and fitness calculators turn a few measurements into clear results: the BMI calculator with WHO and Asian cut-offs, the calorie calculator for maintenance and weight-loss targets, the BMR calculator for the energy you burn at rest, and the body fat calculator that works from a tape measure.
For training there are heart rate zones, a one-rep max estimator for strength work and a pace calculator for runners. For daily habits there are water intake and sleep cycle calculators. For women’s health there are a period calculator, an ovulation calculator and a pregnancy due date calculator with milestone dates. Each tool names the method it uses, such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation or the US Navy body fat formula, and the body measurement tools accept metric or imperial units.
Your height, weight and cycle dates are personal, so every calculation runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. The results are estimates based on population formulas, not medical advice or a diagnosis; talk to a doctor, dietitian or midwife before making major changes to your diet, training or medication. Used with that in mind, they are a useful way to understand your body and to track progress over months rather than days.
BMI, body fat or waist-to-hip ratio?
Each measure tells you something different, and they work best together.
- BMI compares weight with height. It is quick and widely used for screening, but it cannot tell muscle from fat, so a muscular athlete can score “overweight” while being lean.
- Body fat percentage estimates how much of your weight is fat. The tape-measure method is less precise than a clinical scan, but it is good for tracking change over months.
- Waist-to-hip ratio looks at where fat is stored. Fat carried around the waist is linked with higher health risk, which is why the waist-to-hip ratio calculator uses WHO cut-offs.
- Ideal weight formulas such as Devine and Robinson give a single reference figure for your height, and the ideal weight calculator compares them with the healthy BMI range.
From calories to a plan you can follow
The nutrition tools build on each other. BMR is the energy your body uses at rest; multiply it by an activity factor and you get TDEE, your maintenance calories. Eating somewhat below TDEE leads to gradual weight loss, and the macro calculator then splits your target into grams of protein, carbohydrate and fat. A few practical tips:
- Weigh and measure at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, so changes reflect progress rather than meals and water.
- Recalculate after every few kilograms of change, because your calorie needs fall as you get lighter.
- Treat calories burned during exercise as a rough guide and judge by the trend in your weight over several weeks.
- Cycle predictions assume regular cycles. If yours vary, log several months in the period calculator so it can learn your real average.
- Switching between kg and stone, or feet and centimetres? The unit converters handle body measurements too.
Health & Fitness: frequently asked questions
What is a healthy BMI?
For most adults the WHO healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9. Guidance used in India and other Asian countries sets lower cut-offs, with overweight starting at 23, because health risks rise at a lower BMI in Asian populations.
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR is the calories your body burns at complete rest just to keep you alive. TDEE adds everything you do on top, from walking to workouts, and is the number to use when setting a daily calorie target.
How accurate is the body fat calculator?
It gives a reasonable estimate for most people, but it is less precise than a DEXA scan or other clinical methods. Measure carefully at the same spots each time and focus on the trend rather than a single reading.
How is a pregnancy due date calculated?
The standard method, Naegele’s rule, adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. Your doctor or midwife may adjust the date after an early ultrasound scan.
How much water should I drink a day?
Needs vary with body size, activity, climate and health, so there is no single number for everyone. The water intake calculator starts from your weight and adds allowances for exercise, hot weather and pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Why does the sleep calculator use 90-minute cycles?
Sleep moves through light, deep and REM stages in cycles that last roughly 90 minutes on average. Waking at the end of a cycle rather than from deep sleep can help you feel less groggy.
