BMI Calculator

What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. It's calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared (kg/m²).

BMI is widely used as a screening tool for weight-related health conditions. However, it has limitations and should be considered alongside other health factors.

How BMI is Calculated

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)²

Limitations of BMI

• Does not account for muscle mass vs. fat
• May not be accurate for athletes or very muscular individuals
• Doesn't consider bone density or body composition
• Should be used with other health assessments

Tips for Healthy Weight Management

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables
• Exercise regularly (at least 150 minutes per week)
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
• Get adequate sleep (7-9 hours per night)
• Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice
