What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using your height and weight to estimate body fat. The formula is: weight (kg) / height² (m²). While BMI doesn't measure body fat directly, it's a useful screening tool correlated with more direct measures of body fat.

Limitations of BMI

BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat mass. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI despite being healthy. For a more complete picture, consider using our Body Fat Calculator alongside BMI.
