BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters: BMI = kg/m². For imperial units, the formula is BMI = (weight in lbs × 703) / (height in inches)². A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a normal, healthy range for most adults.
BMI categories defined by the WHO and CDC for adults 20 and older: Underweight = below 18.5, Normal weight = 18.5 to 24.9, Overweight = 25.0 to 29.9, Obese = 30.0 and above. These are general guidelines — individual health depends on many factors beyond BMI alone.
BMI has limitations for muscular athletes, bodybuilders, and regular gym-goers because it does not differentiate between muscle mass and body fat. A person with significant muscle mass may show a high BMI despite having low body fat. If you lift weights regularly or train seriously, consider supplementing BMI with body fat percentage measurements or DEXA scans for a more complete picture of your fitness level.
A healthy weight depends on your height. This calculator shows the healthy weight range (BMI 18.5-24.9) for your specific height after you enter your measurements. For reference, a person who is 5'10" has a healthy weight range of roughly 129-174 lbs. Use this as a general guide alongside your fitness goals and body composition.
