Frequently Asked Questions
How is Body Mass Index (BMI) calculated?
BMI is calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters (kg/m²). For standard units, multiply your weight in pounds by 703 and divide by your height in inches squared. Try our BMI calculator for instant classifications!
Are these health and wellness calculators free?
Yes, absolutely! Every fitness calculator, nutritional split, step counter, and pace-tracking utility on myfavcalculator is 100% free with no registration requirements, ads, or paywalls.
Do you log my metrics or personal physical parameters?
No. Your privacy is our highest priority. All mathematical equations run completely client-side in your web browser. None of your inputs, fitness stats, weight, or age configurations are tracked or stored on any server.
What is Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?
BMR is the total number of calories your body needs to perform basic, life-sustaining functions (like breathing and circulation) while at complete rest. It serves as the baseline before factoring in daily physical activity.
How do I adjust calculations for my training level?
Our advanced calorie and macro calculators feature dynamic activity multipliers (such as Sedentary, Light, Moderate, and Active) to precisely match your baseline requirements to your physical training routine.
