The table
Three worth expanding
Vascular Age does not need expensive hardware
You do not need a Withings Body Scan or an Oura ring for this. A single
blood pressure reading, typed in by hand, is enough.
Metabolic Age needs body fat, not just weight
Weight alone will not do it. The calculation compares your metabolism against population norms, and that needs to know how much of you is lean mass. Two ways to provide it:- A BIA scale — a Withings or similar, connected, and it arrives automatically
- By hand — if you have a figure from a gym measurement, a scan or another scale, type it in
Calories Goal gets dramatically better if you log food
This one is not blank without nutrition — it is worse, which is harder to notice.
The first is a textbook formula that describes a statistical average. It is not
wrong, but it is not about you.
The third is genuinely personal, and it is the difference between a number worth
acting on and a number worth ignoring. It takes a few weeks of logging to get
there.
This is also something we want to see. How much people log, and how consistently,
is one of the five questions — so logging
nutrition helps you and us at the same time.
