Understand your body composition and metabolic health with our calculators based on formulas from the US Navy, WHO, and Karvonen.
Health and fitness calculators are only as useful as the formulas behind them. Every tool in this category uses peer-reviewed, clinically validated equations.
BMR/TDEE calculators use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the most accurate population-level resting metabolic rate formula, validated against indirect calorimetry in multiple independent studies. Results are within ±10% of measured values for 82% of adults.
Body fat calculators use the U.S. Navy circumference method, developed and validated by Hodgdon & Beckett (1984) for the Naval Health Research Center. This method achieves a standard error of approximately 3.5% body fat — comparable to bioelectrical impedance at a fraction of the cost.
Heart rate zone calculators implement the Karvonen formula (heart rate reserve method), which produces more individualized training zones than the simple percentage-of-MHR approach, particularly for athletes with unusually high or low resting heart rates.
Strength calculators implement four validated 1RM prediction equations (Epley, Brzycki, Lander, O'Conner) and display results from all four for comparison.
Calculate your estimated 1RM (One Repetition Maximum) for squat, bench press, and deadlift based on your reps.
Estimate your vertical jump height and peak explosive power using the Sayers Formula.
Compare your lifts against other lifters at your bodyweight. Are you a beginner, intermediate, or elite lifter?
The standard formula used in powerlifting to compare strength across different bodyweights.
Calculate your strength-to-weight ratio. Crucial for calisthenics, gymnastics, and rock climbing.
Calculate your optimal target heart rate zones for fat burning and endurance training using the precise Karvonen formula.
Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). The first step to any weight loss plan.
Check your Body Mass Index (BMI) instantly. A simple screening tool for weight categories.
Estimate your body fat percentage without calipers. Based on the accurate US Navy formula using tape measurements.
Assess your fat distribution pattern and health risks. Are you an "Apple" or a "Pear"?
Find your medically recommended healthy weight range based on height and gender.
Estimate your VO2 Max and cardiovascular fitness level using the 12-Minute Run Test (Cooper Test).
Calculate your bench press one-rep max and get personalized training percentages for strength, hypertrophy, and power.
Calculate your squat one-rep max from any weight and rep combination. Includes strength standards and training percentages.
Calculate your deadlift one-rep max from any working set. Includes strength standards, technique cues, and training percentages.
Find the best bedtime or wake-up time based on 90-minute sleep cycles to wake up refreshed and optimize athletic recovery.
Estimate sodium, potassium, and magnesium lost through sweat during exercise and calculate your electrolyte replacement needs.
