Tips for an accurate result
Be honest with activity-level inputs; overestimating how active you are is one of the most common ways these calculators end up wrong.
Keep a simple log of results over time; a single app or notebook is more useful than remembering numbers from memory.
Use consistent measurement conditions each time (same scale, same time of day) so results are comparable over time.
If a result seems unusual, re-enter your inputs carefully before assuming something is medically wrong — a typo is far more common than an anomaly.
