The Calorie Lab is a health tools website that provides informational calculators and guides, including BMI, BMR, calorie estimates, and related body metrics. Tool outputs are estimates and are not medical advice.

No. Results are calculated using widely used formulas and the values you enter. Individual outcomes vary based on factors like body composition, activity level, genetics, and measurement accuracy.

BMI is a useful screening tool, but it does not directly measure body fat or overall health. Athletes, older adults, and people with different body compositions may get results that don’t reflect their full health picture.

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) estimates how many calories your body needs at rest to support basic functions like breathing and circulation. It’s commonly used as a starting point for maintenance or weight goals.

Calorie tools typically estimate a baseline (often using BMR) and then adjust it based on activity level. The result is an estimate of maintenance calories, which can be adjusted for goals.

No. The Calorie Lab tools and content are for informational purposes only. For medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment decisions, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Calculator inputs may be processed to generate results. Any data handling depends on how the site is configured. For full details, review your Privacy Policy.

Different tools may use different formulas, rounding methods, or activity multipliers. Small input differences can also affect results.

Use the units shown on the calculator. If both options are available, select the one you’re most confident is correct. Unit conversions can slightly change results due to rounding.
