🧮 BMI Calculator

📘 What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick way to check if your weight is in a healthy range based on your height. It helps you understand if you're underweight, at a normal weight, overweight, or obese.

📏 BMI Formula

The BMI is calculated using the formula:

BMI = Weight (kg) / [Height (m)]²

For example, if you weigh 70 kg and are 1.75 m tall, your BMI would be:

70 / (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.9

📊 BMI Categories

• Underweight: Less than 18.5
• Normal weight: 18.5 – 24.9
• Overweight: 25 – 29.9
• Obese: 30 or higher

🎯 Why BMI Matters

Your BMI offers a general idea of your health. While it doesn’t measure body fat directly, it’s widely used by health professionals as a simple screening tool.

Keeping your BMI in a healthy range lowers your risk of conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.

👥 Who Should Use This Calculator?

• ✅ Anyone curious about their weight status
• ✅ People setting health or fitness goals
• ✅ Coaches, trainers, or nutritionists tracking client progress

📌 FAQs

Q. Is BMI always accurate?

Not always. It doesn’t distinguish between fat and muscle, so athletes may show a higher BMI despite having low body fat.

Q. What if my BMI is too high or low?

It’s a good idea to consult a doctor or nutritionist. They can help assess your health beyond just numbers.

Q. Is this calculator suitable for kids?

Not exactly. BMI charts for children and teens take age and gender into account. This tool is best for adults.
