Body Measurements
BMI Calculator
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.
Both Height and Weight are required.
Your BMI is:
(Under Weight) (Normal Weight) (Over Weight) (Obese)
Your BMI should fall between 18.5 - 24.9
Body Mass Index
Under Weight:
≤ 18.5
Normal Weight:
18.5 - 24.9
Over Weight:
25 - 29.5
Obese:
≥ 30
The BMI is generally used to determine if you are underweight, normal, overweight or obese. BMI is one of the many ways to determine body composition – it doesn’t take into account an individual’s muscle mass with their weight.
