Body Mass Index Ideal Weight
This is a method which is used for determining overweight and obesity in adults. BMI is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is thought to be a reliable indicator of body fatness for people.
Doctors use these calculations to estimate if a person has a healthy body mass. BMI less than 18.5 Underweight
BMI 18.5 – 25 Ideal weight
BMI 25 - 30 Overweight
BMI 30 – 40 Obese
BMI over 40 Very obese The calculation for working out BMI is quite easy but many diet sites have a BMI calculator if you don’t want to work it out. If you do want to work it out yourself here is the calculation you need: 1. Work out your height in inches and square it (eg 66 x 66 = 4356) 2. Weigh yourself in pounds ( 14lbs = 1 stone) 3. Divide your weight by your height squared (as in number 1) and then multiply the answer by 703 Example:
Weight = 13 stone equal to 182lbs and the height is five foot six inches which is equal to 66 inches: Weight = 182 lbs
Height = 66 inches
The calculation is {182 / (66)2 x 703}
66 times 66 = 4356
182 / 4356 x 703 = 29.37 Also have a look at how to work out your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
