The fitness industry can be incredibly motivating, supportive, and life-changing. I’ve built my career in it because I genuinely believe movement, strength, and better health can change people’s lives. But like any space, it also has its flaws, and this…
Share a bit about where you are so I can meet you there with the right kind of training support.
Understand Your Heart Rate Zones
Estimate your heart rate zones and learn what each effort level should actually feel like.
Heart rate zones can help you understand how hard your body is working during cardio, walking, strength circuits, or conditioning. But heart rate is only one way to measure intensity. Your heart rate can be affected by sleep, stress, hydration, medication, caffeine, fitness level, and even the temperature in the room.
This calculator gives you an estimate that you can compare with your breathing, talk test, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) so you can understand effort in a more practical way.
Use heart rate as a guide. If your smartwatch or fitness device says one thing but your body says something else, pay attention.
Check in with yourself and ask:
Age (years)
This tool is for education only. It does not diagnose, prescribe exercise intensity, or replace guidance from your medical team. If you take medication that affects heart rate or have cardiovascular concerns, ask your medical provider what intensity range is appropriate for you.

Answer a few quick questions about how your body feels and how you like to exercise. This will help you see if The Remedy Method, which blends corrective exercise, Pilates-style control, and strength training for women on GLP-1 medications, is a good fit for you.
A quick check-in on your last meal and today’s patterns so you can see what your body might be asking for next.
Use this tool to look at your Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist size.
BMI compares your height and weight to estimate general body size. It does not measure fat or muscle and cannot show how your body is changing with strength training or GLP-1 use. It is simply a numerical estimate.
Waist size provides additional information because abdominal fat is more closely linked to metabolic risk than fat stored in other areas. Measuring the waist gives a better idea of where the body is holding weight.
Both BMI and waist size can change quickly when someone starts a GLP-1. Muscle, water, and fat often shift at different rates, so these numbers work best as general reference points rather than something to obsess over.
This tool gives you a simple snapshot you can use for your own self-awareness or just to know before doctor’s appointments. It’s one of several things to pay attention to, along with movement quality, strength levels, recovery, and daily well-being.
Waist size is optional. The tool will still calculate your BMI if you skip that section.
BMI Categories:
Unit of measure
Sex
Age (years)
Height (feet)
Height (inches)
Weight (pounds)
Waist circumference (inches, optional)
This tool is for education only. It cannot diagnose medical conditions. If you have new symptoms or health concerns, talk with your medical team for guidance. For adults only. BMI is one data point and does not reflect muscle, body composition changes on GLP-1s, or overall health.
Answer these questions about how your body feels today. This tool helps you find a safe starting point for key movement patterns if you are using GLP-1 medications or coming back to exercise after weight loss. The goal is to match your body to the right level of support, not to push through pain or fear.
1. How do your knees feel when you walk, use stairs, or stand up from a chair?
2. How does your low back feel today?
3. How steady do you feel on your feet?
4. Can you safely get down to the floor and back up on your own?
5. Any foot or ankle pain when you walk or stand?
6. Right now, how confident do you feel about moving your body?
This tool is for education only. It cannot diagnose injuries. If you have strong pain, falls, or new symptoms, talk with your health care team before starting or changing your exercise plan.
Many women notice changes in balance, coordination, and strength as they lose weight. This tool helps you choose movements that feel supportive instead of stressful, so you can build confidence and avoid overloading joints or overworking muscles that are still adjusting.
1. Have you eaten a small meal or snack in the last 2 to 3 hours?
2. How is your stomach right now?
3. How is your energy right now on a scale from 1 to 10?
4. Have you felt dizzy, faint, or lightheaded when you stand up today?
5. Any new sharp pain, chest tightness, or trouble breathing since your last workout?
This tool is for education only and does not replace medical advice. If you ever feel unsure, choose rest and contact your health care team.
First, calculate your daily protein target using the protein calculator.
Then enter your maintenance calories from the TDEE calculator, or type in a starting estimate, and choose your goal. This calculator adjusts your calories based on that goal and shows you how those calories break down into protein, fats, and carbohydrates. This is called a macro split.
For women using GLP-1 medications or going through weight loss, this structure is designed to make eating feel more manageable. Protein supports muscle. Fats support hormones and nutrient absorption. Carbohydrates support energy, movement, and recovery.
Protein recommendations online can be confusing because the official Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is designed to prevent deficiency, not necessarily support muscle retention during weight loss. The RDA for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, but many experts recommend closer to 1.2–1.6 g/kg during weight loss or resistance training. That is why our Daily Protein Target Calculator starts at 1.2 g/kg.
Fat intake is usually recommended as a percentage of total calories rather than a fixed number. For most adults, about 20% to 35% of daily calories coming from fat is considered a balanced range. This calculator keeps fats within a moderate range while balancing protein and carbohydrates based on your calorie needs and goal.
Carbohydrates help support energy, movement, recovery, and brain function. General nutrition guidelines often place carbohydrate intake within a broad range depending on activity level and calorie needs. Instead of using a rigid percentage, this calculator adjusts carbohydrates based on your calorie intake, protein target, and fat needs while maintaining a minimum intake for daily function and energy levels. However, carbohydrate needs can still vary widely depending on activity level, appetite, medications, and overall calorie intake.
Your protein target comes directly from the protein calculator. This tool builds the rest of your intake around that number.
This is a starting point, not a prescription. Your medical team may adjust your needs based on your health, labs, medication plan, and appetite.
Use your TDEE number from the TDEE calculator or enter a starting maintenance estimate.
This calculator will adjust that number based on your goal before splitting your macros.
Use my TDEE Calculation
Adjusted calories: 0 kcal per day
Protein: 0 g per day
Fat: 0 g per day
Carbs: 0 g per day
This is a starting point, not a prescription. Your medical team may adjust your needs based on your health, labs, and medication plan.
Enter your weight and choose how often you strength train. This calculator gives you a daily protein range in grams to help support muscle, recovery, and overall health.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. That amount is the minimum needed for basic health, not for maintaining muscle during weight loss or training.
People may need more than the RDA when they are:
This calculator starts at 1.2 grams per kilogram. Think of this as your baseline for muscle protection, not a goal you have to exceed. The range increases slightly based on how often you train. This reflects what your body could use if it is supported with enough food and recovery.
Because appetite can be lower on GLP-1 medications, you do not need to chase the highest number in the range. Start with the lower end of your range and focus on consistency first. If your appetite allows and your body is responding well, you can gradually work toward the higher end. If not, staying at the lower end is still effective for protecting muscle.
Recommended range:
0 to 0 grams per day
This range is an estimate based on body weight and strength training level. It is a guide, not a strict rule. Your medical team may adjust your protein needs, especially while you are on GLP-1 medication.
Fill in your details to find your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
Your TDEE is the total amount of energy your body uses in a full day. This includes everything. Your workouts, walking, cleaning, daily movement, shifting posture, fidgeting, and even the energy it takes to digest your food.
Part of your TDEE is your BMR. Your BMR is the energy your body needs for basic life functions like breathing, circulating blood, maintaining organs, and keeping your body temperature stable. This is what your body would use even if you stayed in bed all day.
Understanding both numbers is helpful if you are on a GLP-1 or working on your health. Appetite can drop quickly, which makes it easy to undereat without noticing. Knowing your TDEE and BMR shows you how much fuel your body actually needs so you can keep your energy up, protect muscle, and support safe and steady fat loss.
You can choose from three formulas to calculate these numbers. Mifflin-St. Jeor and Harris-Benedict use height, weight, age, and sex. Katch-McArdle uses body fat percentage if you know it. They use slightly different math equations, but they all estimate the same thing. Mifflin-St. Jeor is generally the most accurate for most people.
BMR: 0 kcal per day
TDEE: 0 kcal per day
These are estimates. Calculators may read low for people with more muscle and may not work well for people living with obesity. Use as a guide, not an exact number.
