What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is used to check whether we have a healthy weight according to our height. 

How BMI is calculated?

BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight (kg) with his/her height (m²⁾.

BMI for men and women uses the same formula. 

• If the body mass index is more than 30, you can be classified as someone who is obese. so here is a tip control your junk foods and focus on exercise.
•  
• if your Body Mass Index(BMI) is less than 18.5, then you might be undernourished. You may have an eating problem or disorder. so here is a tip you gotta eat more 
• if it is between 18.5 to 24.99 then congratulations you have a perfect BMI
• If it is more than 25, you can be classified as a person who is overweight.

However, some experts say this method is not accurate. WHY? because BMI doesn't distinguish between fat and muscle mass.

So for example, if a person has more well-defined muscle mass and less fat level, BMI will categorize him as obese. Also, a person having less muscle mass and more amount of harmful visceral fat may be considered healthy by BMI. 

lastly, BMI doesn' even take into account an individual age, gender, etc
