BMI Calculator
Fill in your height and weight, either in inches and pounds or meters
and kilograms, and this BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator will show your
BMI. It will also show an ideal body weight range for the height.
Interpreting Body Mass Index
A normal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. A BMI less than 18.5 indicates a low weight for a specific height, while a BMI greater than 24.9 indicates a high weight for a specific height. The safest and healthiest way to lose weight is to slightly decrease calorie consumption and to excercise. A 3500 calorie deficit per week should decrease weight by 1 pound per week. Eating more lean meats and fish as well as eating more vegetables can help with weight loss. Consult a physician before starting a diet and excercise program.
