Understanding how our calculators work and how to use the results responsibly.
Purpose of Our Calculators
FitnessVarsity fitness calculators are designed to provide easy-to-understand estimates related to health, fitness, nutrition, and body metrics. These tools help users gain general insights into their fitness goals such as weight management, calorie needs, and body composition.
Our calculators are intended for educational and informational purposes only and are not a replacement for professional medical or fitness advice.
Formulas and Methodology
FitnessVarsity calculators are built using widely accepted scientific formulas and estimation models commonly used in the fitness and health industry.
Examples of calculation methods used across our tools include:
- Body Mass Index (BMI) standard calculation formulas
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) estimation models
- Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculations
- Calorie deficit and surplus estimations
- Body fat percentage estimation models
Accuracy of Results
While our calculators are based on established formulas, it is important to understand that fitness and health measurements can vary significantly between individuals.
Calculator results depend on the accuracy of the information you provide, such as age, weight, height, activity level, and body composition.
The results generated by FitnessVarsity calculators should be used as general estimates and not exact measurements.
Limitations of Fitness Calculators
Fitness calculators are estimation tools and cannot account for all individual variables, including genetics, medical conditions, hormonal differences, or lifestyle factors.
Because of these limitations, results may differ from actual outcomes.

FitnessVarsity calculators do not provide medical diagnoses or treatment advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, or lifestyle.
