How BurnFat builds and reviews these guides
Every guide names its publication and update dates, explains its evidence base, and cites the primary research, public-health guidance, or official product documentation behind material claims. Comparisons never imply hands-on testing we did not perform.
Each page must also add something usable: a calculation, decision table, audit, correction protocol, meal plan, or reproducible comparison method. The core rule remains simple: make a reasonable estimate, log consistently, and adjust from the trend instead of chasing false precision or an extreme target.
Turn the calculator into a daily feedback loop.
BurnFat connects meal logging, activity, and calorie balance so the number becomes a trend you can actually follow.
