Check your BMI

The BMI examines Body Mass in relation to height. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a tool that can be used to tell how healthy a person's weight is. You can use the BMI to find out if you're a healthy weight for your height. It can be though difficult to interpret weight loss or gain. The BMI does not differentiate fat weight from fat-free weight. BMI has only a modest correlation with percent body fat predicted from hydrostatic weighing.

  • If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9, you're over the ideal weight for your height.
  • If your BMI is between 30 and 39.9, you're obese.
