Calories and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Calculator estimates your basal metabolic rate—the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, and in a post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about 12 hours of fasting)  https://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html

Waist to Hip Ratio – What does this ratio mean for you?  It is generally accepted that, carrying extra weight around your middle, indicated by a high waist to hip ratio, increases health risks associated with obesity, such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and high blood pressure. Waist-to-hip ratio, also known as waist-hip ratio, is the circumference of the waist divided by the circumference of the hips.  https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/health/whr-calculator.php

Waist to Height Ratio – This calculator will tell you your waist to height ratio. Men and women should keep their waist circumference, no more than half their height. The best time to take your measurements for this calculation, is in the morning. Your waist measurements are the most accurate just after you wake up from 7-8 hours of sleep.  https://www.medindia.net/patients/calculators/waist-height-ratio.asp
