Health Calculators in Metric and Kilojoules
Australian food labels list energy in kilojoules, while many apps and articles use calories. The energy calculators here show both (1 kcal = 4.184 kJ), and the calorie and kilojoule calculator converts any label in either direction. Height and weight default to centimetres and kilograms, with feet, inches and pounds available.
Understanding Your Body Measurements
The BMI calculator compares your weight with your height. For most adults, a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 falls in the healthy weight range, but BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat and isn't designed for children, pregnancy or very muscular people. That's why it helps to look at more than one measure.
Waist, hip and other body measurements add context. The body fat calculator uses tape-measure readings of your waist, neck and (for women) hips to estimate body fat percentage, and the ideal weight calculator shows the healthy weight range for your height using several common formulas.
Energy, Calories and Macros
Your basal metabolic rate is the energy your body uses at complete rest. The BMR calculator estimates it with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, and the TDEE calculator multiplies it by an activity factor to estimate your total daily energy expenditure — the starting point for maintaining, losing or gaining weight. The macro calculator then splits that energy into protein, carbohydrate and fat.
These are population-based estimates. Individual needs vary, so watch how your weight and energy levels respond over a few weeks and adjust, ideally with advice from an Accredited Practising Dietitian.
Pregnancy and Fertility Dates
The due date calculator estimates your due date as 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last period, or from a conception or IVF transfer date. The ovulation calculator estimates your fertile window from your cycle length, and the pregnancy weight gain calculator shows a general healthy range based on your pre-pregnancy BMI. Your midwife, GP or obstetrician will confirm dates, usually with an early ultrasound.
