Body mass index

Weight relative to height, using CDC adult BMI categories.

Daily calorie needs

Mifflin–St Jeor resting metabolic rate, scaled by activity and goal.

info Food contributes roughly 20% of daily fluid. If you take diuretics or have heart or kidney disease, your fluid allowance may be deliberately restricted — follow your doctor's figure, not this one.

Add your weight and today's activity to get a litre target and a simple drinking schedule.

bedtime

Sleep cycle timing

Times built on 90-minute cycles, including how long you take to fall asleep.

info Cycle length averages 90 minutes but varies between people and across a night. Use these times as a guide. Loud snoring, gasping in sleep or persistent daytime sleepiness should be assessed by a doctor.

Pick a wake time or bedtime to see four options that finish at the end of a cycle.

Where these estimates stop working

Every formula here was derived from population averages of healthy adults. That makes them useful starting points and poor final answers. Treat a result as a hypothesis to test over a month, not a rule to obey today.

  • pregnant_woman Pregnancy and breastfeeding change all four targets.
  • child_care Children and teenagers need age-specific charts.
  • fitness_center High muscle mass inflates BMI without added risk.
  • medical_information Kidney, heart and thyroid conditions override these numbers.
