BMI Calculator

What is B.M.I?

BMI is the more commonly used short version of Body Mass Index. This is a number calculated from your weight and height that roughly correlates to the percentage of your total weight that comes from fat, as opposed to muscle, bone or organ. The higher a person's BMI, the higher the percentage of fat in their body. If your BMI is under 20, you might be underweight. Between 20 and 25, you are probably at a good healthy weight for your height. A BMI over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is considered obese.

What your BMI means is shown below:
