Health by the Numbers

Health by the Numbers is a simple software application that you can use to calculate your current BMI (Body Mass Index), RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) and recommended calorie intake. It's practical if you're thinking about adopting a weight loss plan or if you just want to maintain your current figure.

Before proceeding any further, you should know that this app cannot replace the advice of a nutritionist, so it's recommended to consult a professional before making any drastic changes about your diet.

Made as a Modern UI app for Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, Health by the Numbers can be installed on any computer running these operating systems, including touch-supported devices. It can be downloaded from the Store and doesn't need Internet access to perform calculations, so you can fire up this app even when you're offline.

In the main window, you can enter your gender, age, height (centimeters), weight (kilograms) and activity level between "little or no activity", "moderately active" and "very active". Then you can press "Calculate Health Numbers" in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

The tool shows your score (BMI), classification (underweight, normal, overweight etc.), BMI category of normal classification and risk to health, as well as the resting metabolic rate (calories per day) and recommended daily intake (calories).

Unfortunately, Health by the Numbers doesn't provide additional useful information. For example, it doesn't tell you what defines each activity level.

Also, it supports only the metric system, which means that those who are only accustomed to the imperial system have to resort to an external unit converter to transform feet to centimeters and pounds to kilograms. Nevertheless, you can test this app yourself.
