Use the tool

Choose units, measurements or a session preset. Review the supported scope beside the controls.

Adjust the plan and review the visual result. For a timer, select Start; Pause, Reset and Next remain available where applicable.

Save a private summary, schedule or log if offered. Nothing is uploaded or automatically saved.

Understand the method and limits

Mifflin–St Jeor resting-energy estimate for adults 20–100, multiplied by a chosen heuristic activity factor. Actual needs vary; activity factors are assumptions, not measured metabolism. Excludes pregnancy and breastfeeding. No weight-loss target or deficit is prescribed.

Keep your information private

Inputs and logs stay in page memory. No account, upload, health-data analytics, browser storage or medical-record synchronization. Leaving or refreshing the page can clear the session; explicitly downloaded files contain your information. Exports are local PNG/PDF summaries, CSV schedules or logs, and a sleep calendar where offered. These tools are for general planning and estimates, not diagnosis or individualized treatment.
