Frequently asked questions
What is a healthy BMI?
A BMI of 18.5–24.9 is considered normal weight. Below 18.5 is underweight; 25–29.9 is overweight; 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
BMI is a useful general screen but doesn't account for muscle mass or body composition, so athletes may read high. Use it as a guide, not a diagnosis.
How do I calculate BMI manually?
Divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared (kg/m²). In imperial units: weight in pounds ÷ height in inches² × 703.
