Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Calculator
Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy used (measured in calories) by your body to perform basic functions, including internal energy expenditure, breathing, and body temperature. It is the number of calories your body would expend if you performed no physical activity throughout the day.
With this being said, adding even small amounts of lean muscle with proper nutrition and exercise can increase your BMR, and allow you to burn more calories on a daily basis. Additionally, in a study where subjects consumed key ingredients (green tea containing 90 mg of EGCG and a total of 200 mg of caffeine) showed an increase in daily caloric expenditure. This is another example of how regular exercise, proper nutrition can get you results.
Target Heart Rate Calculator
Research has shown that exercising at a moderate level may be more beneficial if your goal is to lose optimal amounts of bodyfat. Physiological factors dictate that a level of 50 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate may help burn more fat as energy, while exercising at or above 70 percent of your maximum heart rate may be more useful for improving your cardiovascular conditioning. Use the Target Heart Rate Calculator to find out your optimal training zones so you can get more from your workouts.
Note: To find your resting heart rate (measured in beats per minute) you can measure it manually or use a heart-rate monitor. To get an accurate measurement, you should measure for a resting heart rate while you have been sitting for a while, or just after you wake up in the morning.
Water Calculator
The human body requires a fresh supply of water every day. Not only is water one of the most abundant nutrients available, but it's also the most important. Water helps regulate and maintain your body temperature, transports nutrients and oxygen, removes waste products, and moistens your mouth, eyes, nose, hair, skin, joints, and digestive tract. Limiting your water intake can result in dehydration, elevated body temperature, fatigue, decreased performance, and increased risk of heat-related illness. Consume at least ten 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Use the water calculator below to determine your suggested daily water intake based on your weight and activity level.
NOTE: Remember that factors such as living in elevated temperatures, exposure to winter cold, fever, smoking, old age, caffeine consumption, and alcohol intake can increase water requirements.
Activity Calculator
To be successful at any fitness plan, you should not only use a smart nutritional strategy and monitor the calories you are putting into your body, but also stay active to burn calories optimally. This Activity Calculator can approximate not only the number of calories you'll burn doing standard cardio activities such as running, but also the number of calories burned during leisurely activities such as watching TV.
Calorie Calculator
The calorie calculator first determines your basal metabolic rate (BMR) using multiple factors, including height, weight, age and sex. It then multiplies that value by an activity factor that takes into account your daily activities. This produces a value that represents your total daily calorie requirement for maintaining your weight. If you've selected either “Lose Weight” or “Add Muscle” as your goal, the calculator will add or subtract a scientifically determined amount of calories to or from the total.
Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of many screening tools that can be used to assess an individual's total bodyweight. BMI is calculated by comparing the measurements of your weight and height. Use the BMI calculator to determine if your bodyweight falls into an appropriate range in relation to your height. To find your results, look for the output value below:
