This Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator can be used to calculate your BMI value and your weight status.
PLEASE NOTE: The BMI indicator is just a guide and may provide misleading results. It does not take into account different body frames, muscle tone, etc. It’s important to speak with a physician about your individual weight if you are unsure.
For example, if you are 5’4, 145 pounds but you have a small frame/build, you may look out of shape even though the BMI caluclator says your weight is “desirable.”
Those same stats (5’4 and 145 pounds) may look completely different on someone with an average or larger frame/build.
So even though these two people have the same weight and height, they carry it completely differently. The BMI calculator does not take this into consideration.
That’s why it’s important you speak to a physician about your individual weight.
