Using the Type Calculator: A Step-by-Step Guide

This guide will walk you through how to use the Type Calculator to determine key health metrics such as BMI, BMR, and TDEE. Ensure you have accurate information ready for input.

Step 1: Input Your Personal Data

• Height:

  Enter your height in centimeters. The value should be between 100 cm and 250 cm. Use whole numbers only.

• Weight:

  Enter your weight in kilograms. The value should be between 30 kg and 300 kg with increments of 0.1 kg allowed.

• Age:

  Enter your age. This should be a whole number between 18 and 120.

• Gender:

  Select your gender from the two options provided: Male or Female.

• Activity Level:

  Select your activity level from the given options. Options range from Sedentary to Extra active, each with its corresponding activity multiplier (e.g., 1.2 for Sedentary).

Step 2: Perform Calculations

After entering all required fields, initiate the calculations. The system will automatically use the provided data to compute the following metrics:

• BMI (Body Mass Index):

  This is calculated using the formula: weight / (height/100)². The output will be a number with one decimal place.

• BMI Category:

  Your BMI will be categorized as Underweight, Normal weight, Overweight, or Obese based on the calculated value.

• BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate):

  Calculated using a formula specific to your gender. This value represents the calories burnt per day at rest.

• TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure):

  The product of BMR and your activity level, giving an estimation of total calories burnt per day.

• Ideal Weight Range:

  A range of weights considered ideal for your height, calculated using a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9.

Step 3: Review and Interpret Your Results

Review the calculated metrics provided. Understanding these can help guide decisions on lifestyle changes or maintaining current health practices. If you have any concerns about your results, consider consulting with a healthcare professional.
