Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy BMI range?
A healthy BMI range is 18.5 to 24.9. Below 18.5 is considered underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is classified as obese. However, BMI doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition.
Is BMI accurate for athletes?
BMI may overestimate body fat in athletes and muscular individuals because it doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat mass. Athletes often have a higher BMI due to muscle mass while having a healthy body fat percentage.
How is BMI calculated?
BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters (kg/m2). In imperial units, it's calculated as (weight in pounds x 703) / (height in inches)2.
