• calculate_bmiCalculate BMI (Body Mass Index)read-only

  Compute Body Mass Index and its weight classification from height and weight alone. Adults use the WHO cutoffs (underweight / normal / overweight / obese); for ages 2–19 pass age + sex and it uses the CDC BMI-for-age percentiles instead. Returns a canonical myplate.food URL and source citation.

• calculate_bmrCalculate basal metabolic rate (BMR)read-only

  Compute basal/resting metabolic rate — the calories your body burns at rest. Returns the headline Mifflin-St Jeor (1990) value plus the revised Harris-Benedict (Roza & Shizgal 1984) estimate for comparison. Needs age, sex, height and weight. Adult equations: ages 18 to 120. A younger age returns 400; for a child or teenager use myplate-plan or dri, whose energy equations have child forms.

• calculate_body_fatEstimate body-fat percentageread-only

  Estimate body-fat % using the U.S. Navy circumference method, with a Deurenberg BMI-based cross-check and ACE category. Needs sex, age, height, weight and tape measurements of neck and waist (plus hip for women).

• calculate_body_metricCalculate a body / fitness metricread-only

  Run one of myplate.food's quick body-composition & fitness calculators and get its value plus the healthy band. Pick `metric` and pass that metric's fields: • waist-to-height — waist, height • waist-to-hip — waist, hip, sex • lean-body-mass — weight, height, sex • ffmi — weight, height, body_fat, sex • water-intake — weight (+ optional activity: sedentary|moderate|active) • weight-loss-percentage — start_weight, current_weight • one-rep-max — weight, reps Lengths and weights follow `unit` (metric = cm/kg, imperial = in/lb; default metric).

• calculate_calorie_deficitCalculate calorie-deficit tiers for weight lossread-only

  Use this when someone wants a weight-loss calorie target. Returns maintenance calories (TDEE) and up to three deficit tiers — mild (−250), standard (−500) and aggressive (−750 kcal/day) — each with the realistic weekly rate it buys, and a flag when a target dips below BMR. Needs age, sex, height, weight and activity; pass pregnancy or lactation when either applies. weight_loss_targets lists only the paces myplate.food itself offers: a pace whose target is under 1,200 kcal a day for women or 1,500 for men (the low end of the calorie prescriptions in the 2013 AHA/ACC/TOS obesity guideline) is le…

• calculate_calorie_needsCalculate calorie needs (BMR / TDEE / deficit / macros)read-only

  Use this when you want the whole energy picture in one call. Returns resting metabolic rate (Mifflin-St Jeor) and revised Harris-Benedict, total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) at every activity level, up to three weight-loss deficit tiers, macronutrient splits, protein targets and healthy-weight ranges. This is a superset of calculate_tdee, calculate_calorie_deficit, calculate_macros, calculate_protein_target, calculate_bmr and calculate_ideal_weight — reach for those only when you need a single number. Same profile inputs as the MyPlate plan. weight_loss_targets lists only the paces myplate.…

• calculate_dach_energyCalculate D-A-CH / DGE energy requirementread-only

  Daily energy requirement for the German/Austrian/Swiss (D-A-CH) DGE framework: resting energy via the Müller et al. (2004) equation the DGE uses, scaled by a PAL activity factor. Returns resting energy, the requirement at the chosen PAL, and a table at PAL 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8. Needs sex, age and weight. Adults only — the DGE derives this equation for adults and publishes table reference values for children and adolescents instead.

• calculate_driGet the full Dietary Reference Intakes tableread-only

  Return the full Dietary Reference Intakes table for a life stage — recommended intakes and tolerable upper limits for macronutrients, vitamins and minerals (IOM 2005/2006/2011, NASEM 2019), plus the Estimated Energy Requirement and BMI. Needs age, sex, height, weight (pregnancy/lactation optional; edition iom2005 | nasem2023).

• calculate_glp1_proteinGLP-1 muscle-preservation protein targetread-only

  Protein target to preserve muscle during weight loss on a GLP-1 medication (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro): the 1.2 to 1.6 g/kg preservation range vs the IOM protein RDA for the age (0.8 g/kg for adults, 0.85 at 14 to 18, higher below 14), the per-meal amount over 4 meals, and the DRI fiber Adequate Intake for age and sex. When the range runs above 120 g/day it also returns the fixed 80 to 120 g/day option from the 2025 GLP-1 nutrition advisory, with its note that actual body weight can overestimate needs. Needs weight, age and sex.

• calculate_ideal_weightEstimate ideal / healthy body weightread-only

  Estimate ideal body weight from height and sex via four classic clinical formulas (Devine 1974, Robinson 1983, Miller 1983, Hamwi 1964), plus the healthy-BMI (18.5–24.9) weight band and current BMI for context. Needs age, sex, height, weight. Adult equations: ages 18 to 120. A younger age returns 400; for a child or teenager use myplate-plan or dri, whose energy equations have child forms. Above the healthy-BMI band, ideal_weight also carries firstGoal (the weights 5 to 10% under the current weight, the first goal in the 2013 AHA/ACC/TOS obesity guideline) and adjusted (the Hamwi ideal weight …

• calculate_macrosCalculate a macronutrient splitread-only

  Split a daily calorie budget into protein, carbohydrate and fat grams across three presets. Balanced (20/50/30) sits inside the IOM acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (protein 10 to 35%, carbohydrate 45 to 65%, fat 20 to 35%); higher-protein (30/40/30) and lower-carb (30/35/35) put carbohydrate below its range. Each preset in the response carries withinAmdr. Pass `calories` directly, or a body profile (age, sex, height, weight, activity) to derive TDEE first. With a profile: Adult equations: ages 18 to 120. A younger age returns 400; for a child or teenager use myplate-plan or dri, w…

• calculate_myplate_planCalculate a USDA MyPlate food-pattern planread-only

  Estimate daily calorie needs (IOM Estimated Energy Requirement) and return the USDA MyPlate food-group plan at that level — cups of fruit/vegetables/dairy, ounce-equivalents of grains/protein, plus weekly vegetable & protein subgroup targets and BMI. From age, sex, height, weight and activity (pregnancy/lactation optional).

• calculate_protein_targetCalculate a daily protein targetread-only

  Daily protein target in grams from body weight and activity level: the IOM RDA for the life stage (0.8 g/kg for adults; 0.85 at 14 to 18, 1.1 in the second half of pregnancy, 1.3 while breastfeeding) and an activity-scaled range up to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics / Dietitians of Canada / ACSM (2016) 1.2 to 2.0 g/kg athlete range. Needs age, sex, height, weight and activity; pass pregnancy or lactation when either applies. Under 18 the answer is the RDA alone: range is null, byActivity is empty and activity_range_withheld is "under_18", because the activity ranges are adult sports-nut…

• calculate_tdeeCalculate total daily energy expenditure (TDEE)read-only

  Use this when you need maintenance calories — the total daily energy expenditure. Mifflin-St Jeor resting metabolic rate scaled by a physical-activity multiplier; returns the TDEE at the given activity level plus a table across all four levels (sedentary → very-active). Needs age, sex, height, weight and activity. For deficits, macros and protein alongside it, use calculate_calorie_needs instead. Adult equations: ages 18 to 120. A younger age returns 400; for a child or teenager use myplate-plan or dri, whose energy equations have child forms.
