Calculate Your Body Mass Index:

The Body Mass Index, referred to as the BMI scale, is only an estimated percentage of body fat, based on a comparison of an individual's weight and height. The National Institute of Health states that a healthy BMI falls in the range of 18.5% to 24.9%. Men with a BMI above 27.8% and women with a BMI over 27.3% are considered overweight, or possibly obese. Men with a BMI less than 20.7% and women with a BMI below 19.1% are considered underweight.

So if you're calculating your BMI, please keep in mind that the higher percentages may apply to people with a great deal of muscle mass and a low percentage of body fat. On the other hand, your BMI may be underestimated if you're an older individual or carry less muscle mass. BMI is a simplistic way of measuring body fat - it takes the place of more advanced instruments known as body fat calipers. These devices actually measured skin folds (or fat folds) so there was little room for error.

To discover your BMI, simply enter your weight in pounds and your height in feet and inches.
