RAMROK offers general wellness education and planning estimates. These references explain the methods and topics below; they do not validate every AI reply. AI can be wrong. Ask your care team before changing treatment or a prescribed diet.
Calories, macros and goal dates
The starting resting-energy estimate uses the Mifflin–St Jeor equation: 10 × weight in kg + 6.25 × height in cm − 5 × age, plus 5 for male or minus 161 for female. Activity adjustments and selected weight-change pace are RAMROK planning assumptions, not measured metabolism.
Mifflin et al. · Resting energy equation (1990) is the original study supporting this starting estimate.
Macro targets depend on your preferences and plan. RAMROK uses 4 calories per gram of protein or carbohydrate and 9 per gram of fat. Protein presets and the calorie split are app defaults, not a personalized medical prescription. USDA’s Dietary Reference Intake calculator provides reference information for energy, macronutrients and water; individual needs can differ.
Goal dates are approximate. RAMROK’s starter plan uses about 500 calories per day for a one-pound weekly change, but real weight change is not linear or guaranteed. Flat and higher-day plans distribute a planned weekly calorie total according to your choices. NIH / NIDDK’s Body Weight Planner explains personalized energy planning and changing needs. RAMROK does not implement that model. Your clinician should set targets for pregnancy, breastfeeding, anyone under 18 or a prescribed diet. Check food-photo estimates against portions and labels.
Lab results
RAMROK shows confirmed values and available ranges from your report. Ranges differ by laboratory, test and person. An out-of-range result is not a diagnosis; an in-range result does not rule out illness. Confirm extracted values, units and ranges against the report and consult the ordering clinician. MedlinePlus: Understanding your lab results explains reference ranges and clinical context.
Food quality score
RAMROK’s Health Score summarizes logged food quality, not medical health or disease risk. It uses available nutrition and processing data, weights foods by calories and applies RAMROK’s own mapping and adjustments. The 0–100 display is not an official Nutri-Score or a clinically validated health measure. Missing information and estimated portions affect it.
Santé publique France: Nutri-Score explains one input when available. Monteiro et al. (2019): NOVA food processing describes the processing classification used when available.
