EditorialGuidelines

Fitlydoo is committed to providing clear, accurate, and easy-to-understand health calculators and educational resources. Our goal is to help people make informed decisions using reliable information presented in a simple way.

Our commitment

How We Approach Quality

Every calculator and article on Fitlydoo is guided by four core commitments that shape how we build, write, and maintain our content.

Transparency

We explain how every calculator works and what formula it uses, so you are never left guessing where your result comes from.

Accuracy

Every tool is built on recognised, peer-reviewed formulas. We validate outputs before publishing and correct issues as soon as they are found.

Continuous Improvement

Health science evolves. We commit to reviewing and updating our calculators and content as guidance changes over time.

User Feedback

We actively encourage visitors to report errors or suggest new tools. Your input directly shapes how Fitlydoo improves.

Our principles

Our Editorial Principles

These are the standards we hold ourselves to when creating every piece of content and every calculator on Fitlydoo.

  • Present information in plain language that everyone can understand.
  • Base calculators on widely accepted formulas and established calculation methods.
  • Clearly explain how results are generated so users understand what the numbers mean.
  • Regularly review and improve both calculators and educational content.
  • Correct errors promptly when they are identified or reported.

How we build

Calculator Development

Every calculator on Fitlydoo is designed with usability and education at its core.

  • Be simple and intuitive to use for all experience levels.
  • Work reliably on both desktop and mobile devices.
  • Provide educational estimates rather than exact medical measurements.
  • Include plain-language explanations that help users understand their results.

What we write

Content Standards

Educational articles and supporting content on Fitlydoo are written to meet a consistent quality bar.

  • Accurate

    Information is cross-checked against recognised health guidance before publication.

  • Helpful

    Content is structured to answer real questions users have about their health and wellness.

  • Easy to read

    Complex topics are explained in plain, straightforward language without unnecessary jargon.

  • Regularly reviewed

    Articles are revisited when recommendations change or new evidence becomes available.

Medical information evolves over time, and content may be updated as recommendations change. We note when significant updates have been made.

Where we get our information

Sources and References

Fitlydoo uses recognised scientific formulas and established guidance where appropriate.

Our calculators are built on formulas with a strong scientific basis. For example, our BMR and TDEE calculators use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — a widely accepted standard in sports nutrition and dietetics. Our water intake calculator draws on established hydration guidelines from recognised health organisations.

When educational articles reference research, clinical studies, or health organisations, we aim to cite those sources clearly within the article so that visitors can explore the evidence for themselves.

We do not publish proprietary or unverified formulas without disclosing their source and limitations.
