Body Tally Editorial Standards

Last updated: May 27, 2026 | Reviewed by Body Tally Editorial Team

What We Publish

Body Tally publishes free health and fitness calculators plus practical guides on BMI, BMR, TDEE, calorie targets, macros, body composition, running pace, and strength estimates. This page explains the standards we try to use when creating and revising that content.

The goal is practical trust. We want visitors to understand what kind of site this is, how its content is reviewed, and what judgment still belongs to the reader and their qualified healthcare or fitness professionals.

What We Prioritize

  • clear explanations instead of vague filler
  • formulas and limits stated plainly, including when a result is an estimate
  • practical guidance tied to real decisions, not just page labels
  • internal links that help readers move between related tools and guides
  • plain-language warnings when a page still requires professional review before use

How Calculator Pages Are Reviewed

Calculator pages are reviewed for clarity, input guidance, result interpretation, and related links. We aim to make each tool explain what it measures, what it does not measure, and how to use the number responsibly. When a page involves health decisions, we keep the educational framing explicit.

We also try to make sure each calculator page helps a visitor decide whether the tool fits their question, rather than simply asking them to enter numbers.

How Article Pages Are Reviewed

Article pages are written to support real search intent and real planning needs. That means they should answer a practical question, offer examples or reasoning, and connect clearly to relevant calculators. We aim for articles that help someone act, not articles that simply restate the page title in different words.

Before publishing or revising a guide, we try to check whether it includes a clear problem statement, useful examples, internal links, and a realistic explanation of how the idea applies to fitness, nutrition, health tracking, or everyday planning.

Corrections and Updates

If a page is unclear, contains a weak explanation, needs a better example, or seems to create confusion, it may be revised. Corrections matter because Body Tally is meant to improve over time, not merely expand. We would rather strengthen an existing page than keep piling up thin ones.

The updated date on a page reflects the latest editorial revision we intend to show publicly.

Limits of the Site

Body Tally does not claim to be a medical provider, nutrition practice, or professional training service. A useful calculator or guide can still require adaptation for individual health status, medications, injuries, or professional guidance. Those choices remain the responsibility of the person using the material.

Advertising and Independence

If Body Tally uses advertising or third-party services, that does not change the editorial goal of making the site more useful. We want calculators and guides to stand on their own merit. Trust pages, support articles, and calculator pages should still make sense even without promotional framing.

How to Report a Problem

If you notice a correction, usability issue, accessibility concern, or content gap, please use the Contact page. Specific feedback is the most useful, especially when it includes the page URL and a short explanation of what needs improvement.
