Your results

What your AI calculates

The AI processes your physical data into these specific metrics.

METABOLIC

Basal metabolic rate

The AI finds your BMR, which is the energy your body burns just to stay alive. This is your foundation.

ACTIVITY

Daily energy burn

Your AI factors in your movement to find your TDEE. This shows how many calories you actually use every day.

TARGET

Daily calorie goal

The AI subtracts a deficit from your TDEE to create a weight loss target. You get a single daily number.

HUMAN

Meal selection

The AI gives you the math, but you choose the actual foods. You decide what goes on your plate.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI handles the math so you don't have to guess your numbers.

  1. Find your baseline

    The AI uses your physical stats to determine your resting energy needs.

    compute_bmr

  2. Factor in movement

    Your AI adjusts your baseline based on how active you are.

    compute_tdee

  3. Build the deficit

    The AI calculates the exact calorie reduction needed for your weight loss goal.

    calculate_weight_loss_plan

  4. Refine the plan

    The AI uses your data to fine-tune the daily intake numbers.
