Formula used

Ideal Weight Calculation

For males: Ideal weight (kg) = (Height in cm - 100) - (Height in cm - 150)/4

For females: Ideal weight (kg) = (Height in cm - 100) - (Height in cm - 150)/2.5

BMI Calculation

BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m))²

These formulas are based on general population averages and should be used as a general guideline rather than an exact measurement.

Interpreting your results

Ideal weight range: Based on your height and gender, this shows the recommended weight range for optimal health.
BMI: Body Mass Index, which categorizes your weight status:
- Underweight: BMI < 18.5
- Normal weight: 18.5 - 24.9
- Overweight: 25 - 29.9
- Obese: BMI ≥ 30
Weight status: A brief interpretation of your BMI result.

Important Note

BMI is a general indicator and doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or overall body composition. For a more accurate assessment, consider consulting with a healthcare professional.

FAQ

Is this calculator accurate for everyone?

The formulas used are general guidelines based on population averages. Individual results may vary. For personalized advice, consult a healthcare professional.

What does BMI tell me about my health?

BMI provides a general indication of whether you're underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. However, it doesn't measure body fat directly. Athletes or people with high muscle mass may have a higher BMI despite being healthy.

How can I maintain a healthy weight?

A balanced diet, regular exercise, and consistent lifestyle habits are key. The calculator provides a starting point, but individual needs may vary. Consulting a nutritionist or dietitian can help create a personalized plan.
