About ME Fitness

ME Fitness exists to give athletes, coaches, and beginners a clear, research-backed starting point for calorie planning, macro distribution, and sustainable body recomposition.

How we calculate BMR and TDEE

We rely on the Mifflin-St Jeor revision of the Harris-Benedict equation because peer-reviewed studies show it aligns best with modern lifestyles.

Activity multipliers are drawn from the compendium of physical activities and adjusted for realistic training volumes.

  • Sex-specific constants to refine resting energy estimates.
  • Activity factors tuned for resistance training and recreational cardio.
  • Objective-based macro splits that prioritize protein sufficiency and recovery.

Editorial standards

All educational content cites reputable sources such as PubMed, WHO guidelines, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Articles are reviewed for clarity, accuracy, and practical applicability before publication.

  • Plain-language explanations to reduce jargon.
  • Actionable steps and checklists to improve adherence.
  • Annual reviews or sooner when new research emerges.
