What’s the BMI formula?
US: BMI = (lbs ÷ inches²) × 703
Metric: BMI = kg ÷ meters²
Why can BMI be misleading?
BMI doesn’t measure body fat directly. Some people with high muscle mass may have a higher BMI without high body fat.
What is a “healthy weight range” here?
This is an estimate based on BMI 18.5–24.9 at your height. It’s a common reference range, not a medical target.
