Nothing here is written by a made-up staff. One person drafts the calorie, macro and body-composition guides on CalorieCalcTools; a separate person owns the site and checks her sourcing against the formula behind each calculator. Both are named below.
Naomi Foster
Contributing Writer, Health & Wellness
Naomi drafts the calorie, macro, BMI and body-composition guides on CalorieCalcTools, and similar nutrition and fitness content for a few other sites in the Encore Editorial network. She is not a registered dietitian, a doctor, or a certified nutrition coach, and nothing on this site claims otherwise. Her job is narrower and more mechanical than a coaching role: take a published formula, Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR, the Navy method for body fat, Atwater's energy factors for macros, and explain what it measures, where it comes from, and where it stops being reliable for an individual reader.
Her byline is on the BMI calculator, the BMR calculator, the body fat calculator, the calorie and nutrition guide, the calorie deficit calculator, How Many Calories to Lose Weight, How Much Protein Per Day, How to Count Macros, the ideal weight calculator, Is 1,200 Calories a Day Too Low, the keto calculator, the macro calculator, the protein intake calculator, the sleep calculator, the TDEE calculator, the water intake calculator, What Is a Calorie Deficit, and What Is TDEE.
Before a page of hers goes live: every constant she cites is traced to the original publication named on the editorial standards page, the Mifflin-St Jeor paper, the Naval Health Research Center's body-fat formula, the National Academies' Dietary Reference Intake report, Atwater's food-energy figures, rather than pulled from a secondary source that may have already rounded it wrong. Any statement about a "safe" or "too low" calorie range is written to point a reader toward a doctor or registered dietitian for their specific situation, not to talk them into a number.
Chris Terry
Founder and Editor
Chris built CalorieCalcTools and the other calculator sites in the Encore Editorial network through Encore Promotional Products. He is not a doctor, a dietitian or a certified nutrition coach either, and this page does not pretend otherwise. What he does is build the calculators and read every draft Naomi files against the source she cites before it publishes, the same habit of checking a constant against its original document that he applies across the rest of the network.
What he checks: that a cited formula matches the paper or agency report named for it, that a worked example uses round, obviously hypothetical numbers rather than something a reader could mistake for personal advice, and that language about "safe" ranges points toward a professional rather than a fixed number. A confirmed error gets corrected and dated on the page, not quietly rewritten.
Why neither byline claims a clinical credential
Some nutrition sites put a dietitian's name on an article a dietitian never wrote or reviewed. This site does not do that. If a page here ever carries a registered dietitian's byline, it will be because that person genuinely wrote or reviewed it, with a credential you can verify. Until then, every guide is written by someone whose job is sourcing, not diagnosis, and checked by an editor whose job is the same.
