Why Your Result May Differ From Another Calculator
Explore why two health calculators can produce different numbers for the same person based on formula assumptions.
Formula Selection & Origin
Different formulas (e.g. Mifflin-St Jeor vs. Harris-Benedict) were calibrated against distinct populations and decades.
Activity Level Multiplier Nuances
Overestimating daily physical activity level (PAL) is the #1 cause of calculated vs actual maintenance discrepancies.
Body Composition Discrepancies
BMI treats all body weight identically, while athletes with high muscle mass will register elevated scores.
Water Balance & Glycogen Shifts
Starting a low-carb diet causes sudden 3–6 lb losses due to stored glycogen depletion and bound water shedding.
Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)
Protein requires 20–30% of its caloric value for digestion, while fats require only 0–3%.
Adaptive Thermogenesis
Prolonged calorie deficits lead to down-regulated NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) and metabolic slowing.
