1) BMR Calculator: This tool calculates your basal metabolic rate, or the approximate number of calories your body requires in a 24-hour period. This is an important thing to know. Many people who fail on diets do so because they do not have any idea how many calories they require, and/or how many they are consuming. Weight loss starts with this critical information.

3) Protein Calculator: contrary to popular belief, adequate protein intake is critical, not only for athletes, but for sedentary people as well. Protein requirements increase with activity levels, so if in doubt, use this calculator to determine your precise protein needs (if you need a list of low fat, high protein foods, please click here!).

4) Fat Calculator: Although maligned by the mainstream diet gurus, fat IS an important nutrient -- your body does need some to function optimally. Of course, where you get your fat (i.e., which sources -- saturated or poly/monunsatured) makes a big difference as well. This calculator will display your ideal daily fat content...

5) Carbohydrate Calculator: these days, carbohydrates aren't the most "in favor" nutrient. And it's true... the wrong kinds of carbs can really play havoc with your insulin levels, and therefore your dieting success. However, carbs are also an essential fuel source... and the more active you are, the more carbs you need!

6) Fiber Calculator: fiber is the ultimate blood sugar moderator, helping to control rising insulin levels post-meal. It's also beneficial for digestion, to maintain regularity, as well as other critical elements of health. Use this calculator to determine your needs...

7) Waist-to-hip Calculator: although your weight does have an impact on your overall health, it is your waist to hip ratio that is a better overall indicator of your health.
