The Complete BMI Guide
Adolphe Quetelet Formula (1832) & WHO Standards
- •What it is: Weight-to-height screening metric.
- •How calculated:
kg/m²or[lbs×703]/in². - •Healthy range: 18.5 – 24.9 kg/m² for adults.
- •Key limitations: Can't separate muscle from fat; ignores visceral adiposity.
TDEE & Calorie Guide
Mifflin-St Jeor & Physical Activity Coefficients
- •Energy Burn: BMR (60-70%), NEAT (15%), TEF (10%), EAT (5-10%).
- •Calculations: Daily baseline multiplied by activity factor (1.2–1.9).
- •Safe Deficit: 300–500 kcal/day for 0.5–1 lb/week fat loss.
- •Metabolic adaptation: How to avoid plateaus and preserve lean mass.
Macronutrient Split Guide
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) & Body Composition
- •Protein: 0.8–1.0g per lb for muscle retention during cuts.
- •Carbohydrates: Primary fuel for high-intensity muscular work.
- •Dietary Fats: 20–30% of total calories for hormonal endocrine health.
- •Targeted Splits: Balanced, Low Carb / Keto, and High Protein profiles.
Body Fat % (Navy Method)
U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine & Surgery (BUMED)
- •Why tape method: Separates lean muscle tissue from body fat mass.
- •Measurements: Neck, waist, and hips (for women) with height.
- •Essential fat: 2–5% for men; 10–13% for women required for survival.
- •DEXA comparison: 1–3% variance when tape measurement is precise.
