Common Questions

How good is this calculator?

It’s quite good! It uses math that works for most people, usually being right 9 times out of 10.

Should I eat the same amount every day?

No need! Some days you’ll eat more, some less. That’s fine! Look at what you eat over a whole week.

What if it’s not working?

Try these easy fixes:
• Check if you picked the right activity level
• Make sure you count food right

Yes! New to working out? You can do both. But eating a bit more usually helps build muscle better.
