Fitness
Protein Intake Calculator
Estimate daily protein need (grams) from body weight, training intensity, and goal (maintain, build, or lose weight). Targets evidence-based ranges for active people: 1.2–2.2 g protein per kg body weight depending on activity and objective.
Fitness
BMI Calculator
Calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) — body weight in kg divided by height in metres squared — to screen for under/overweight categories. The most widely used population-level fitness and health risk metric, with known limitations for athletes and unusual body compositions.
