App data sources

Every number in the app came from somewhere.
Here is where.

Calories burned, calories eaten, the macros on a food item, the structure of a standard workout plan. Each one is either read from a published table or calculated with a named formula. Both are listed below with links, so you can check the arithmetic rather than take our word for it.

01 / Sources

Four things the app calculates, and what each one reads from

Data sources behind the member app’s figures
What the app shows you Where it comes from
Calories burned in a workout, a walk or a run Calculated with formulas adapted from the Calculators.org calorie burn rate calculator.
Calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat in a food item The Indian Food Composition Table (IFCT 2017), National Institute of Nutrition and the U.S. Department of Agriculture FoodData Central database. A plainer summary of the Indian tables is on Vikaspedia.
Calories consumed today Added up from the food items you actually logged against your diet plan, using the same IFCT and USDA figures.
The exercises in a standard workout plan Programmed against the K11 Academy syllabus and the National Strength and Conditioning Association: keleven.com, the NSCA exercise technique library, and the WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour.

02 / Formulas

Three, and they are the standard ones

Nothing proprietary. If you have seen these before, they behave the way you expect them to.

BMR

Basal metabolic rate. What your body spends doing nothing at all, which is most of what it spends.

How BMR is calculated

BMI

Body mass index. Weight against height. Useful across a population, blunt for one person, and it does not know the difference between muscle and fat.

The BMI calculator

TDEE

Total daily energy expenditure: BMR multiplied by an activity factor. This is the number a calorie target is set against.

BMR and TDEE explained

03 / Two things worth knowing

Whose food list is it, and how exact is any of this

The food and exercise lists belong to your gym, not to us. Each gym keeps its own food table and its own exercise table, and can import more by uploading a spreadsheet. That is why the paneer at one gym and the paneer at another can carry slightly different numbers, and it is also why your trainer can add the specific dish your members actually eat. The published sources above are what those entries are built from.
These are estimates, and they are meant to be. Calorie burn depends on things a phone cannot measure. Food composition tables give an average for a food, not for the plate in front of you. The figures are good enough to steer by over weeks and not precise enough to argue about over a single meal. The app is not medical advice, and nothing in it replaces a doctor or a dietitian — see clause 10 of the terms of service.
