What the editor is responsible for on FitCalcs

The editor sets and upholds the editorial standards for the site. That means making sure every calculator states the equation it uses, such as Mifflin-St Jeor, Riegel or Karvonen, and cites the named UK source behind its figures, that the health and body tools carry the right caveats, and that pages are clear about when a number is a guide rather than a clinical assessment. Corrections are handled promptly when a reader flags something wrong or out of date. The role is editorial oversight and source discipline, not individualised health advice.

Editorial responsibility

Oliver Mackman is the named editor of FitCalcs and the person accountable for its editorial standards, sourcing and corrections. He is a director of Best Business Loans Ltd (Companies House 16833937), the company that operates FitCalcs, a record you can verify on the Companies House register linked below, and he holds the ORCID iD 0009-0007-1385-6392. His role is editorial oversight and source discipline rather than subject-matter authorship of individual entries: he is responsible for making sure every result cites the equation it uses and a named UK source such as the NHS Health Survey for England, Sport England Active Lives or the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, that the health tools carry the appropriate not-medical-advice caveats, and that corrections are handled promptly. How the site sources and checks its numbers is set out in full in our editorial policy. He does not provide individualised medical or dietary advice; the tools are informational only.
