Medicine
Basal Metabolic Rate Calculator
Estimate the calories your body burns at complete rest using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then multiply by an activity factor to get Total Daily Energy Expenditure. Use the resulting kcal/day as a baseline for diet planning.
Medicine
Ideal Body Weight Calculator
Estimate ideal body weight in kg from height using the Devine formula, returning a single reference weight for a given sex. Use it as a baseline for medication dosing or clinical assessment, not as a personal weight target.
