About this project

What you'll build: A health app that takes height, weight, age, sex and activity level and returns BMI, its category, and an estimated daily calorie need.

Why it's a good starter: The formulas are well-defined, the inputs are simple, and it is a genuinely useful personal tool.

What you'll learn: Turning documented formulas (BMI, Mifflin-St Jeor) into code, input validation, and presenting results clearly.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Research and write down the BMI and Mifflin-St Jeor calorie formulas with their categories; submit your formula notes.

2. Build the calculator core

30 marks 10d

Implement the BMI and calorie functions and print correct results for 3 test people. Submit the working code.

3. Add the interface & categories

30 marks 10d

Wrap it in a form/CLI that validates inputs and shows the BMI category (underweight/normal/overweight). Submit the working app.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 6d

Test edge cases (zero, negative, very large values) and make sure it never crashes.

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 5d

Demo the app for 2 profiles and submit a 1-page report explaining the formulas and one health caveat.
