How RecalFit Works

A clear look at how our algorithms calculate your calories, build your workout splits, and protect your joints while you train.

FEATURE 01

Daily Calorie & Macro Calculations

Your body burns calories constantly, even at rest. RecalFit calculates your baseline energy needs using the gold-standard Mifflin-St Jeor formula, then adjusts daily based on your real activity from Apple Health:

// Baseline Daily Burn (BMR)
BMR (Male) = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age + 5
BMR (Female) = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age - 161
// Daily Maintenance Burn (TDEE)
TDEE = BMR × Activity Level + Apple Health Steps
Safe Fat Loss Limits

Deficits are capped at safe weekly rates so you keep muscle and protect your energy.

High Protein Anchor

Targets 1.8g to 2.0g per kg of bodyweight to speed up recovery between sessions.

Safe Calorie Floors

Minimum safe floors (1,500 kcal male / 1,200 kcal female) prevent crash dieting.

FEATURE 02

Smart Workout Splits & Progression

Choose how many days you want to lift each week. RecalFit organizes your sessions into balanced splits that hit every muscle group with the right recovery intervals:

Push / Pull / Legs

Great for 3 to 6 days a week. Separates chest & shoulders (Push), back & biceps (Pull), and legs for focused stimulus and recovery.

Upper / Lower

Ideal for 4 days a week. Hits your entire upper and lower body twice per week with optimal recovery days in between.

Full-Body Sessions

Built for busy lifestyles (2 to 3 days a week). Uses big compound movements so you build strength and muscle without living in the gym.

FEATURE 03

Joint Protection & Exercise Swaps

Pain kills consistency. If an exercise hurts your shoulders, knees, or lower back, RecalFit immediately provides an alternative exercise that works the exact same target muscles without the joint strain.
