Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is a key health metric that helps determine if you’re at a healthy weight for your height. Our free BMI calculator works for both men and women and gives you instant results with health classifications. Simply enter your weight and height—choose metric (kg/cm) or imperial (lbs/inches) units—and get your BMI number plus category (underweight, normal, overweight, obese). Remember: BMI is one indicator of health, not a complete picture. Muscle mass, bone density, and overall fitness matter too.

Recommendations: Maintain current healthy habits. Regular exercise 150 min/week and balanced diet recommended for all weight categories.

What’s my healthy weight range? +
BMI 18.5-24.9 is healthy range for adults. For 1.75m (5’9″): 57-75 kg (125-165 lbs) healthy. For 1.65m (5’5″): 50-68 kg (110-150 lbs) healthy. Exact target depends on body composition, muscle mass, personal health factors.
Should I worry if my BMI is 25-29.9 (overweight)? +
Overweight (BMI 25-29.9) increased risk, but context matters. Very muscular people may have BMI 25+ with low body fat. Good health habits (exercise, nutrition) matter more than BMI number. Talk to doctor about your individual risk factors.
How can I lose weight healthily? +
Calorie deficit 500/day = 0.5 lb loss/week (safe). Combine: balanced diet (protein, vegetables), exercise (150 min cardio + strength 2x/week), sleep 7-9 hours. Don’t aim for >2 lb/week (unsustainable, loses muscle). Use our calorie calculator for targets.
