Health

Health tools cover the routine arithmetic of personal health — BMI, calorie needs, water intake, sleep cycle alignment, pregnancy due date. None of these diagnose anything; they are inputs to your own decision-making and to conversations with clinicians. Treat outputs as estimates within ±10-15% of clinical-grade measurement.

Body composition

BMI is criticized but still useful as a population-level screening number; pair with waist-to-height ratio for individual interpretation. US Navy tape method and Jackson-Pollock skinfold are practical body-fat estimators; DXA scan is gold standard if accuracy matters.

Nutrition & metabolism

TDEE via Mifflin-St Jeor (most accurate predictive equation per 2005 ADA review), with macro-suggestion ranges. Water intake math distinguishing fluid from total water (food provides 20-30% for typical diets). BAC via Widmark formula.

Sleep & recovery

90-minute cycle alignment for wake times that avoid sleep inertia. Cycle length varies 75-110 minutes between individuals; the calculator uses the population average. For tracking actual cycles, wearables (Oura, Whoop) estimate via heart rate and motion.

Reproductive health

Naegele's rule (LMP + 280 days), with notes that only ~5% of births happen on the exact due date; realistic window is 38-41 weeks. For IVF pregnancies, calculate from embryo transfer date for higher accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

Is BMI a useful number?

For population screening: yes. For individual diagnosis: limited. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, doesn't adjust for frame size or ethnicity. WHO recommends lower thresholds for South/East Asian populations (overweight at 23, obese at 27.5). Always pair with at least one other metric.

How many calories should I eat?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the maintenance target. Subtract 300-500 for sustainable weight loss; add 200-300 for lean muscle gain. The Calorie Calculator uses Mifflin-St Jeor; expect ±10-15% accuracy. Track for 2 weeks against actual weight change to calibrate.

Is 8 glasses of water a day real?

The "8 glasses" is folklore. IOM recommendations are 3.7 L / 2.7 L total water (men / women) — including from food (~20-30% of intake) and all beverages (coffee, tea, milk all count). Thirst is a reliable guide for most adults under 60; for older adults and during exercise, drink on schedule.

What does "due date" really mean?

A point estimate from LMP + 280 days, with about 38-41 weeks as the realistic birth window. Only ~5% of babies arrive on the exact due date. For dating accuracy, first-trimester ultrasound (±5 days) beats LMP (±2 weeks) for women with irregular cycles.
