BMI Calculator

BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic measure - it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or overall body composition

A healthy BMI range (18.5-24.9) is general guidance, but optimal weight varies based on age, ethnicity, and individual health factors

Focus on overall health markers like energy levels, sleep quality, and fitness rather than just achieving a specific BMI number

BMI calculations may not be accurate for athletes, bodybuilders, pregnant women, elderly people, or children under 18

Measure yourself at the same time of day (preferably morning) and under consistent conditions for accurate tracking

Weight fluctuates daily due to hydration, food intake, and hormones - track trends over weeks, not daily changes

Muscle weighs more than fat, so strength training might increase weight while improving body composition and health

Consult healthcare professionals before making significant diet or exercise changes, especially if you have existing health conditions

Focus on sustainable lifestyle changes like regular physical activity and balanced nutrition rather than quick-fix diets

Remember that health comes in many sizes - BMI is just one tool among many for assessing overall wellness
