Body Fat Calculator

Uses Deurenberg formula (1991): Body fat % = 1.2 × BMI + 0.23 × age - 10.8 × gender - 5.4. Provides a quick estimate — for accurate measurements use DEXA or hydrostatic weighing.

Waist-Hip Ratio

Assess body fat distribution

WHR --

Learn More About Waist-Hip Ratio

Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is calculated by dividing your waist circumference by your hip circumference. It helps assess whether you carry excess abdominal fat, which is associated with higher cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes risk.

According to the World Health Organization, a healthy WHR is below 0.90 for men and below 0.85 for women. Values above these thresholds indicate increased health risks from central obesity (apple-shaped fat distribution).

WHR is considered more reliable than BMI for predicting obesity-related health risks because it specifically measures abdominal fat, which is the most metabolically active and health-risky type of body fat.

Learn More About BMR

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the energy your body burns at complete rest. Uses Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the most accurate BMR formula recommended by dietitians.

Multiply BMR by activity factors: sedentary 1.2, light 1.375, moderate 1.55, very 1.725, extreme 1.9 to estimate TDEE.

Learn More About TDEE Calculators

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) represents the total number of calories your body burns in a day. It is calculated by multiplying your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) by an activity factor that reflects your daily movement and exercise level.

BMR is computed using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — widely considered the most accurate formula by nutrition professionals. For men: BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) − 5×age + 5. For women: BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) − 5×age − 161.

Activity factors: Sedentary 1.2, Light 1.375, Moderate 1.55, Very 1.725, Extreme 1.9. These values are based on the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines.

This calculator estimates the daily calorie deficit required to reach your target weight within a specified time frame. It uses the standard energy density estimate of 3,500 calories per pound of body weight loss.

A safe and sustainable rate of weight loss is generally considered to be 0.5 to 1 pound per week, which corresponds to a daily deficit of approximately 250 to 500 calories. Larger deficits may increase the risk of muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, and metabolic adaptation.

The 3,500-calorie rule is a simplified estimate. In reality, the energy cost of weight loss varies based on body composition, activity level, and metabolic changes that occur during weight reduction.

This calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values from the CDC's Compendium of Physical Activities. The formula is: Calories = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) / 200 × minutes.

A 154 lb adult walking 30 minutes at 3.5 mph burns roughly 100 kcal. Running at 6 mph for 30 minutes burns around 480 kcal. Higher MET activities burn more calories per minute but may be harder to sustain.

This calculator estimates daily water needs using the Institute of Medicine's formula: approximately 30 ml of water per kg of body weight, adjusted for activity level and climate conditions.

In the US imperial system, this translates to roughly 1 fluid ounce per pound of body weight as a baseline. Physical activity and hot weather increase sweat loss, requiring additional hydration beyond baseline levels.

The IOM recommends about 3.7 liters (125 fl oz) for adult men and 2.7 liters (91 fl oz) for adult women as a general baseline, with adjustments for individual lifestyle factors.

* All calculations are general estimates for hydration reference only. Not a medical recommendation.

Learn More About Sleep Cycles

Sleep cycles are approximately 90 minutes each. Waking up at the end of a cycle (rather than during deep sleep) helps you feel more refreshed. Most adults need 5-6 cycles (7.5-9 hours) per night.

Enter your bedtime to see optimal wake-up times for 5, 6, 7, and 8 complete cycles. The calculator factors in the average 14 minutes it takes to fall asleep.

BMI, Body Fat & TDEE — Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions most visitors ask before using the calculators above. All answers reference CDC, WHO, and NIH public health standards.

What is a healthy BMI range?
According to the CDC and WHO, a healthy BMI range for adults age 20 and older is 18.5 to 24.9. Below 18.5 is classified as underweight, 25.0 to 29.9 as overweight, and 30.0 or above as obese. These cut-points come from population-level disease risk data and are not a diagnosis for any single person.
How is body fat percentage calculated?
Our Body Fat Calculator uses the Deurenberg formula: BF% = 1.2 × BMI + 0.23 × age − 10.8 × gender − 5.4, where gender = 1 for males and 0 for females. The US Navy method uses waist, hip, and neck circumferences instead. Clinical methods like DXA scans and hydrostatic weighing are more accurate but require specialized equipment.
What is TDEE?
TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It is the estimated number of calories your body burns in 24 hours, combining basal metabolic rate, the thermic effect of food, and physical activity. The standard factorial method calculates TDEE = BMR × activity factor, with factors from 1.2 (sedentary) to 1.9 (very active).
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the energy your body uses at complete rest to maintain vital functions like breathing and circulation. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) multiplies BMR by an activity factor to estimate your real-world daily calorie burn. BMR is the baseline; TDEE is what you actually expend in a normal day.
Are these health calculators free to use?
Yes. Every calculator on VivMetric is 100% free with no signup, registration, or personal information required. All calculations run locally in your browser, and no data is uploaded or stored on a server.
What is a healthy weight range for my height?
A healthy weight range corresponds to a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. At 5 ft 9 in (69 inches), that works out to roughly 125 to 168 lb. Our BMI Calculator shows your personal healthy weight range automatically using the same CDC and WHO cut-points.
