Why this site exists
Most free health calculators hand you a number and nothing else. No indication of which formula produced it, who published that formula, how far off it might be for someone like you, or when it simply does not apply. The articles around them tend to be padded and unsourced, written to rank rather than to be read.
Ask four ideal-weight calculators about the same height and you can get four answers, each presented as the answer. They are usually four different formulas, and sometimes the same formula copied with different rounding. The useful thing to show a reader is not a fifth number but all of them together, with where each came from.
What makes a page here different
The main calculators return every published method side by side for your own inputs. The water calculator shows the National Academies figure, the NHS figure, two popular rules and our own estimate; the ideal-weight calculator shows Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi against the BMI range. The spread between them is part of the answer.
Every page names its sources and links them, says plainly what its number cannot tell you, and carries the date it was last reviewed. That date moves only when the page itself changes.
How a number gets checked
Formulas are taken from the paper that published them wherever that paper can be read. Checking them this way has caught real errors: the Robinson ideal-weight equations repeated across the web are a rounded copy of the published coefficients, and two recent papers print different constants for the revised Harris-Benedict equation. Where the original cannot be checked, the page says which secondary source was used, and where sources conflict and cannot be resolved, the formula is left out.
Every outbound reference is checked automatically before each update, and a dead link is treated as a defect. Corrections are logged publicly in the editorial policy.
Who is behind it
AURAWELLNESS.fit is independently run by Waseem Sajad, who writes and edits everything published here. He is not a doctor or a licensed health professional, and the site never claims he is. See the author page and editorial policy for what that means for the content you read.
There is no editorial board and no support department. That is a limitation, and we would rather state it than imply an institution that does not exist.
