Terms of Use
The site generates estimates from population-based resting-energy equations for educational and informational use.
Medical and dietary use
The result is not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, clinical nutrition prescription, or individualized calorie target. Professional assessment is appropriate for critical illness, major injury, pregnancy, lactation, eating-disorder care, or other cases where nutrition decisions carry medical risk.
Individual accuracy
Prediction equations can have low average bias across a study population and still be meaningfully wrong for one person. Comparing several equations does not establish a measured metabolic rate or a personal confidence interval.
Use of the result
You are responsible for how you use the information generated by the site and for seeking qualified professional guidance when appropriate.
