By using this calculator you can calculate your bmi easily. This calculator will give your bmi result and it will give you a comparison to the average recommended bmi by an average person.
What is bmi
bmi is the relation of your mass and height. a higher bmi means higher body mass in relation to your height. but there is wrong thought in peoples mind which is that a higher bmi equals a higher body fat. but this is wrong for example you can see the image below which both of the muscular and the overweight person have nearly the same bmi. But that doesn't mean both of them are in health danger. Which means bmi is not a complete measurement of your overall health. The best way to estimate your overall health is calculating your body fat. If you want to calculate your body fat percentage you can use this body fat calculator for males and this calculator for females.
How bmi is calculated
bmi is mostly calculated in two units which are in us unit and metric unit. With metric unit you can use this formula.
Bmi=weight (in kg)/height (in meter)²
With us unit you can use this formula
Bmi=703×weight (in lb)/height (in inches)²
Measurements needed to calculate bmi
to calculate your bmi you need measurement of your height in centimeter, in meter or in inches and you need measurement of your weight in pounds or in kilogram. To get more accurate results you should take measurement of your weight before eating or drinking any thing. And you need to take measurement of your height at the morning with bare foot.
How to reduce bmi
Actually you can reduce bmi by reducing your weight but lower bmi doesn't always mean better health. As i said before bmi is not a good estimator of health rather calculating your body fat will help you estimate your overall health better than bmi.
