Body Mass Index Calculator The body mass index (BMI) is an approximate measure of body fat. It is based on your weight and height. We all need a certain amount of body fat, but too much or too little is not good. To calculate your BMI fill in the Height (both Feet and Inches) and Weight boxes below. Click on the Calculate BMI button. Height Weight Feet Pounds Inches Your BMI 0.00 BMI Ratings: Underweight = <18.5 Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 Overweight = 25-29.9 Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater This information is not a substitute for medical advice. To find out how this applies to you and to get details, talk to your family doctor. BMI is only one measure of your health. Body fat percentage, blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol and other measurements are as important as BMI.
