What is a BMI Calculator?
The BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator is a simple tool to determine whether you're underweight, ideal, or overweight based on your height and weight. Your BMI helps you understand your body proportions and can be a starting point for setting fitness goals, dieting, or exercise programs.
By entering your height and weight, this calculator will automatically calculate your BMI, complete with categories and follow-up suggestions. Ideal for anyone looking to start a healthier lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Question
This BMI calculator follows WHO standards and is used globally. However, for more in-depth analysis, such as body composition or muscle fat, further testing such as bioimpedance or DEXA scans is required.
BMI is a general indicator and doesn't take muscle mass, age, or gender into account. Athletes, for example, may have a high BMI due to muscle mass, not fat.
For adults, the ideal BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9 . Below this range is considered underweight, and above 25 is considered overweight or obese, depending on the level.
For children and adolescents, BMI interpretation differs because age and gender must be taken into account. Use a BMI calculator specifically for children from a reputable source or consult a doctor.
Not always. BMI is only a preliminary indicator. More important are body composition, fat versus muscle content, and overall health. Also, check your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and general fitness.
Use your BMI results as a guide to developing an appropriate exercise program or diet. You can combine it with the TDEE calculator to determine your daily calorie needs.
