Named source cards

MedBud calculates without a network connection. If you want to inspect a source, tap the card at the end of the calculator. The source then opens in your browser under that website's own privacy policy.

How to interpret results responsibly

Use a result as one general reference, not a conclusion about your health. Adult body-composition and energy formulas are not pediatric assessments. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, medicines, health conditions, fitness, climate, and activity can also make a general range inappropriate. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before using a result for medical, nutrition, medication, exercise-safety, or treatment decisions.
