What are the Health Calculators?
Randomly's health calculators apply standard population formulas to give screening estimates — Body Mass Index, basal metabolic rate, body fat percentage, ideal weight range, daily calorie needs, water intake and running pace. Each names the formula it uses, runs in your browser, and is a general estimate rather than medical advice.
Seven calculators built on formulas you can look up: BMI, Mifflin-St Jeor and Harris-Benedict for metabolic rate, the US Navy method for body fat, and the standard ideal-weight equations. The point of naming them is that you can check what the tool is doing and decide whether it suits you.
These formulas were derived from populations, not from you. They are screening tools — useful for spotting that something is worth looking into, poor at describing an individual. BMI famously cannot tell muscle from fat. Every page in this group says what its formula misses rather than presenting a number as a verdict.
As with everything on the site, height, weight and age are processed in your browser and never uploaded. Health figures are the last thing that should be sitting in somebody's database.
