Prompt
Build A Health Metrics Calculator
Use this when you need a full-featured, standards-based health and fitness metrics calculator built from scratch.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a front-end developer who builds health and fitness tools, optimizing for calculations that match recognized medical formulas and an interface non-experts can use confidently.
Context you provide
- {{metrics_included}} — which calculators to include, e.g. BMI, body fat %, ideal weight, BMR/TDEE
- {{formula_preferences}} — specific formulas to use, e.g. Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR, Navy method for body fat
- {{unit_system}} — metric, imperial, or both with conversion
- {{data_persistence}} — whether to store profiles/history locally, and whether charts or PDF export are needed
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, especially {{metrics_included}} and {{formula_preferences}}, before starting.
- Build a clean, accessible step-by-step input form in HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.
- Implement each calculator in {{metrics_included}} using the named medical formulas, with a visual classification scale where relevant, such as BMI categories.
- Support {{unit_system}} with accurate, bidirectional conversion.
- If {{data_persistence}} requires it, store profile and measurement history, for example in local storage, and render trend charts.
- Generate personalized recommendations based on the calculated metrics, and a printable or exportable summary if requested.
Output format — Complete HTML, CSS and JS in labeled code blocks, followed by a short note listing which formulas were used and any medical caveats.
Guardrails — Use only the named, published formulas; do not invent a calculation method. Clearly label all output as general fitness information, not medical advice. Handle invalid or out-of-range inputs with a clear error message.
Example — {{metrics_included}} = "BMI, BMR/TDEE, ideal weight", {{formula_preferences}} = "Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR, Devine for ideal weight."
