Drop a Pound Every Day…

What is the BMI? BMI stands for Body Mass Index.  It is a number calculated using an individual’s current height and weight. It provides an accurate account of that person’s body fat.

Technically, BMI is measured by dividing a person’s weight (measured in pounds) by their height (measured in inches). This number is then multiplied and squared by the conversion factor of 703.   It sounds more complicated than it actually is.

 In adults, the BMI categories are as follows: any number under 18.5 indicates a person who is underweight, 18.5- 24.9 indicates a normal weight range, 25.0-29.9 indicates a person who is overweight and any number above 30.0 indicates obesity.

There is a similar formula for calculating the BMI of children and teenagers, as well.
