❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use the BMI calculator to diagnose obesity?
No. BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic tool. A high BMI may indicate elevated body fat, but only a healthcare professional can diagnose obesity after considering your full health picture, including body composition, health history, and clinical examination.
Q: Is the pregnancy due date from your calculator accurate?
Our pregnancy calculator provides an estimated due date based on your last menstrual period. However, only about 5% of babies are born on their due date. First-trimester ultrasound is the most accurate method for dating pregnancy. Always confirm with your OB-GYN.
Q: Can I base my diet on the calorie calculator results?
Calorie calculators provide estimates only. Actual caloric needs vary based on metabolism, activity, health conditions, and goals. Before starting any diet, especially for significant weight loss, consult a registered dietitian or physician who can create a personalized plan.
Q: Are your formulas medically approved?
We use standard, published formulas (e.g., Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR, standard BMI formula). While these formulas are commonly used in healthcare settings, applying results to individuals requires clinical judgment that only healthcare professionals can provide.
Q: What if my calculator result seems concerning?
If any calculator result causes concern, please consult a healthcare professional. Do not panic based on a single online result, but do seek professional evaluation. If you're experiencing symptoms or a medical emergency, contact your doctor or emergency services immediately.
