Body Mass Index (BMI) gives an approximate indication - whether your weight is normal or is it over or below normal. It uses your height

Body Mass Index (BMI)
Enter Your Age
Enter Your Weight (In Kgs)
Enter Your Height (In Cms)

BMI = (your weight in kgs)/(height in metres * height in metres)

BMICONDITION
18.5 or lessUnder Weight
18.5 to 24.9Normal Weight
25 to 29.9Over Weight
30 or higherObese


Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum calorific requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual. When multiplied with Activity Multiplier, you get the full calorie need per day. Calories taken above this level would increase weight and below this level would decrease weight

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) (Calories) Calculator
Enter Your Age
Enter Your Weight (In Kgs)
Enter Your Height (In Cms)
Select your gender
Select your lifestyle

Formula:

Men:
BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)

Women:
BMR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)

Multiply the result from above with Activity Multiplier found below to get the full calorie requirement


SedentaryBMR * 1.2
Lightly ActiveBMR * 1.375
Moderately ActiveBMR * 1.55
Very ActiveBMR * 1.725
Extremely ActiveBMR * 1.9


Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) is the ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips. It measures the proportion by which fat is distributed

Waist-Hip Ratio
Enter Your Waist Size (in Cm)
Enter Your Hip Size (in Cm)

Formula:

Waist-Hip Ratio:(Waist Size)/(Hip Size).
Desirable - 0.95 or less for men, 0.80 or less for women


Target heart rate (THR) is a desired range of heart rate reached during aerobic exercise which enables one's heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from the exercise

Target Heart Rate
(while exercising)
