About
Eat with data, not with diets
Pondera Health is an app to log what you eat, count calories and macros and track your progress. It helps you understand how you eat, without bans or fad menus.
Why Pondera Health exists
Understanding what you eat is the first step
Most diets tell you what to eat without explaining why. When you stop, you start over without knowing what worked.
Pondera Health does the opposite: it works out your plan with recognised formulas, lets you log your meals in seconds and shows how what you eat relates to your goal. With that data, you decide.
How we calculate your plan
The same formulas we explain on the blog. They don’t replace advice from a doctor or dietitian.
- Basal metabolic rate
- Mifflin-St Jeor
- Daily energy use
- Basal × activity factor (1.2 to 1.9)
- Goal
- −15% to lose, +10% to build muscle
- Macros
- Split by goal, at 4/4/9 kcal per gram
