Health Calculator

BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. It does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. Talk to a healthcare provider for a full picture. See How We Review for our methodology.

Calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the current clinical standard for estimating resting energy needs. These are estimates. Not medical advice; consult a healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes.

This range reflects the standard healthy BMI band (18.5 to 24.9), not a single “ideal” number. A wide range of weights within it can be healthy depending on frame, muscle mass, and other factors.
