John is the founder of MySlimTools — part coder, part calorie nerd, and full-time fan of simple, no-fluff weight loss tools. With a background in web development and a lifelong interest in fitness, John built this site to answer the age-old question: “How many calories should I actually be eating?” When he’s not optimizing PHP code or fine-tuning a calculator, you can find him lifting weights, dodging carbs, or pretending broccoli tastes like fries — and he's almost convinced (but cauliflower’s still playing a different sport).

His motto? “If it’s not simple, it won’t stick — whether it’s code or a diet.”
