About Alex
Alex Morgan has practised 16:8 intermittent fasting for over three years and has researched the science of metabolic health, autophagy, and time-restricted eating extensively. Frustrated by paywalled fasting apps that locked users out of basic health tools, Alex co-founded FastingCalc in 2025 to make science-backed fasting calculators permanently free.
Alex holds a background in health science communications and cross-references every claim on FastingCalc against peer-reviewed sources from PubMed, NIH, and major medical journals. All content is written to inform — not to sell.
🧬 Editorial Standards
Every health claim published on FastingCalc is:
- Linked directly to a peer-reviewed source (PubMed, NIH, or major medical journal)
- Written by or reviewed by Alex Morgan personally
- Updated when new research supersedes prior findings
- Clearly labelled with a medical disclaimer where appropriate
FastingCalc uses the Mifflin-St Jeor BMR equation (Mifflin et al., JADA 1990) for all calorie calculations — the most validated formula for estimating resting metabolic rate.
