How can you tell whether your weight suits your height?

The most widely used measure is body mass index (BMI): weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared, with 18.5 to 24.9 considered healthy for adults.

BMI cannot tell fat from muscle, so body fat percentage gives a more detailed picture. The ideal weight calculator compares four formulas for your height and sex.

How many calories, how much protein and water do you need a day?

Daily calorie needs are your basal metabolic rate multiplied by your activity level; protein is calculated in grams per kilogram of body weight and water in millilitres per kilogram.

The calorie calculator also gives targets for losing or gaining weight, and the calories burned calculator shows the energy used walking, running, cycling and more.

Which calculations help with exercise, sleep and pregnancy?

Target heart rate depends on your age and resting heart rate, running pace on distance and time, and the best bedtime on 90-minute sleep cycles.

The due date calculator estimates the due date and how many weeks pregnant you are from the last period.
