Fitness And Health Calculations
A library to help you make health and fitness related calculations.
Installing
To use this library, simply install it with the node package manager
npm install fitness-health-calculations
Usage
Please note that the weight and height values must be either POUNDS and FEETS, or KILOGRAMS and CENTIMETERS
What can you calculate
In version 1.0.2 you are able to calculate:
- The basal metabolic rate - number of calories required to keep your body functioning at rest.
- The total daily energy expenditure - an estimation of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account.
- Total daily caloric needs based on weight goal.
- Ideal weight.
EXAMPLE 1 - Basal metabolic rate
const calculate = require('fitness-health-calculations');
let myBmr = calculate.bmr('female', 22, 168, 65);
EXAMPLE 2 - Total caloric needs
const calculate = require('fitness-health-calculations');
let totalCaloricNeeds = calculate.caloricNeeds('male', 22, 195, 95, 'high', 'gain', 'agressive');
Same calculation as in EXAMPLE 2 but in FEETS and POUNDS
const calculate = require('fitness-health-calculations');
let totalCaloricNeeds = calculate.caloricNeeds('male', 22, 6.3, 209, 'high', 'gain', 'agressive');
API
Fitness and Health Calculations
Calculates the basal metabolic rate - returns number of calories
bmr(gender, age, height, weight)
gender
- [REQUIRED] - your gender.age
- [REQUIRED] - your age.height
- [REQUIRED] - your height, can be either in FEETS or CENTIMETERSweight
- [REQUIRED] - your weight, can be either in POUNDS or KILOGRAMS
Calculates the total daily energy expenditure - returns number of calories
tdee(gender, age, height, weight, activity_level)
gender
- [REQUIRED] - your gender.age
- [REQUIRED] - your age.height
- [REQUIRED] - your height, can be either in FEETS or CENTIMETERSweight
- [REQUIRED] - your weight, can be either in POUNDS or KILOGRAMSactivity_level
- [REQUIRED] - how much active are u during the week- sedentary - little to no exercise + work a desk job
- light - light exercise 1-3 days/week
- moderate - moderate exercise 3-5 days/week
- high - heavy exercise 6-7 days/week
- extreme - very heavy exercise, hard labor job, training 2x/day
Calculates the total daily caloric needs based on weight goal - returns number of calories
caloricNeeds(gender, age, height, weight, activity_level, goal, approach)
gender
- [REQUIRED] - your gender.age
- [REQUIRED] - your age.height
- [REQUIRED] - your height, can be either in FEETS or CENTIMETERSweight
- [REQUIRED] - your weight, can be either in POUNDS or KILOGRAMSactivity_level
- [REQUIRED] - how much active are u during the week- sedentary - little to no exercise + work a desk job
- light - light exercise 1-3 days/week
- moderate - moderate exercise 3-5 days/week
- high - heavy exercise 6-7 days/week
- extreme - very heavy exercise, hard labor job, training 2x/day
goal
- [REQUIRED] - your weight goal- reduction - weightloss
- maintain - maintain current weight
- gain - gain weight
approach
- [OPTIONAL] - your approach to the previously added goal. This will determine how fast you will lose or gain weight.(default - normal) This parameter should only be added if the target parameter is 'reduction' or 'gain', otherwise this parameter will be ignored.- slow - very slow weightloss/gain
- normal - normal weightloss/gain, this is the default and recommended value
- agressive - agressive weightloss/gain
- very agressive - very agressive weightloss/gain, only recommended for professional athletes
Calculates the ideal weight - returns the ideal weight.
idealBodyWeight(height, gender, units)
height
- [REQUIRED] - your height, can be either in FEETS or CENTIMETERS, depends on the third argument.gender
- [REQUIRED] - your gender.units
- [OPTIONAL] - can be either metric or imperial (default - metric).
