Who We Are
We're a small team of fitness enthusiasts and developers who got tired of how misleading most fitness content online is. Too much of it is driven by supplement sales, influencer deals, or outdated advice. So we built something honest instead.
We're not a gym, a supplement brand, or a coaching service. RecompForge is an independent project — no sponsorships, no hidden agendas.
We're not doctors or dietitians. RecompForge is an educational tool, not a clinical service. Always talk to a qualified professional before making big changes to your diet or exercise routine.
Why We Built This
Most calorie calculators give you a number with no explanation. Fitness forums argue using personal stories instead of science. Influencers push extreme diets and unnecessary supplements.
Meanwhile, the actual science of body recomposition is well-established — it's just not presented in a way most people can easily use. RecompForge exists to fix that. Every number our calculator produces comes from a real formula or published study. No hidden algorithm, no upsell.
The Calculator
We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the most well-tested BMR formula for healthy adults — to estimate your calorie needs. From there, we factor in your activity level and goal to give you a daily calorie target plus protein, carb, and fat breakdowns based on your lean body mass.
Everything runs in your browser. Your inputs are never sent to a server or stored anywhere. Use it as many times as you want, completely privately.
Why It's Free
Accurate nutrition information shouldn't be paywalled. RecompForge is free and will stay that way. The site is supported by simple display ads that have no influence on our recommendations.
Our Values
Science First
Every recommendation we make comes from peer-reviewed research — not trends, fad diets, or supplement company claims. If the science is unclear, we say so honestly.
No Conflicts of Interest
We don't do paid partnerships, sponsored content, or affiliate deals with supplement or coaching brands. Our advice is fully independent.
Honesty
Body recomposition takes months of consistent effort. The calculator is a starting point — not a shortcut. We'd rather give you a realistic picture than overpromise and set you up for disappointment.
Who It's For
RecompForge is for adults who want to improve their body composition using a clear, evidence-based approach. It works especially well if you're new to tracking nutrition, returning to fitness after a break, or just want to dial in your numbers without overcomplicating things.
It's not a replacement for a dietitian or personal trainer — especially if you have a health condition or specific athletic goals. For those situations, please work with a professional.
