It is excellent. Normally, over 30 is considered obese and from 25 to 30 is considered overweight. Anything below 20 may be too low. Therefore, the average ideal range is between 20 and 25---and you are right at the low end of that range, which is excellent.

On the other hand, BMI is an imprecise measuring tool. It simply does not work well for many kinds of people such as bodybuilders and athletes. A better measure would be your percentage of body fat.

Anything between 20 and 25 is healthy. Below that it gets underweight and above overweight.

Yes. A BMI (Body Mass Index) between an 18.5 and a 25 is considered to be in the "healthy" or "normal" weight range. A 20.4 falls in the center of that range, so it's perfectlt healthy!

22 year old male weight 5 7?

You can calculate a healthy body weight by using the Body Mass Index (BMI). The formula for BMI is weight (kg) divided by height (meters) squared. A healthy BMI is between 20-25, a BMI 25-30 is overweight, a BMI 30 and up is obese, a BMI 15-20 is underweight, and a BMI under 15 is emaciated. In your case a healthy body weight should be between 58-72kg (128-158lbs) 20 = x / 1.7^2 20 (2.89) = x 57.8kg = x 25 = x / 1.7^2 25 (2.89) = x 72.3kg = x
