The BMRScope Editorial Team

Editorial · BMRScope

BMRScope is a basal metabolic rate calculator maintained by a small in-house group that also writes its articles — the same hands on the tool and on the page.

Articles here keep to Health Calculators rather than the site in general. The tool it documents estimates the calories your body burns at complete rest using the Mifflin-St Jeor, Harris-Benedict and Katch-McArdle formulas so you can compare the three, and the writing follows the same ground: setting a calorie baseline before a diet, comparing how much a lean-mass estimate changes the answer, understanding why two BMR calculators disagree.

Each piece is checked so that the arithmetic can be followed and repeated, and so that the language stops short of advice. Regulated subjects — health, money, law — are handled as measurement problems, with a note pointing to a professional.
