When you check a client record or work on a meal plan, you will notice a Formulas tab. The formulas tab lists a series of formula results, such as BMI, BMR, etc. These formulas are determined using the available data for the client. The data required for each formula is:
| Formula | Data required |
|---|---|
| BMI (Body Mass Index) | Weight, Height |
| BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) | Weight, Height, Gender, DOB |
| Weight maintenance level | Weight, Height, Gender, DOB, Activity Level |
| DRI for Protein (body weight) | Weight, Gender, DOB |
| Protein recommendation based on lean body mass | Weight, Body Fat %, Gender, DOB |

You need to populate the required fields in order to get the formulas to produce a result. Alternatively, you can get your clients to fill in their data for you using a questionnaire.
Required data needs to be populated in either:
- The overview section inside a client record
- The formulas tab inside a meal plan
The following 5-minute video shows exactly where and how to enter the data required to make the formulas work.
