BMI is a rough guide and doesn't tell muscle from fat — not medical advice.
Body mass index (BMI) is a ratio of weight to height that gives a rough estimate of whether your weight is in a healthy range. It's worked out with a simple formula:
BMI only looks at weight and height — it doesn't tell muscle from fat. A muscular person can have a “high” BMI with little fat, while an inactive person with a normal BMI may carry too much fat. So use BMI as a guide, and for your real goal look at calories and macros, body composition and your waist.
BMI = body weight (kg) divided by height in metres squared (m²). For example, 75 kg and 1.75 m gives 75 / (1.75 × 1.75) = 24.5.
A range of 18.5–24.9 is considered a normal (healthy) body weight for adults.
Below 18.5 is underweight, 18.5–24.9 is normal weight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obesity.
It isn't perfect: it doesn't tell muscle from fat, so it can overestimate for muscular people and underestimate for inactive ones. Use it as a rough guide.
For body composition, body-fat percentage is more precise. BMI is a quick guide; for your real goal also look at your waist, photos and measurements.
