How to Use the BMI Calculator
The BMI Calculator on CalorieCalculator.com helps you determine your Body Mass Index (BMI), a widely used metric to assess whether your weight is healthy relative to your height. By calculating your BMI, you can identify if you’re underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, which can guide your fitness and health goals.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Enter your weight in kilograms (e.g., 70 kg). Use a recent, accurate measurement.
- Input your height in centimeters (e.g., 175 cm). Measure your height without shoes for precision.
- Click “Calculate Now” to compute your BMI instantly.
- Review your BMI result and the corresponding weight category (e.g., Normal, Overweight).
- Use “Calculate Again” to try different inputs or update your measurements.
The calculator uses the standard BMI formula: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))². The result is categorized as follows:
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal Weight: BMI 18.5–24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25–29.9
- Obese: BMI 30 or higher
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it doesn’t account for muscle mass, bone density, or overall body composition. For a comprehensive health assessment, consider consulting a healthcare professional or using additional tools like our Body Fat Calculator. This tool is perfect for tracking weight status over time or setting initial fitness goals.
