In order to calculate your body mass index you need your weight and height. Take your height in inches and square the number. In other words, multiply the number of inches by the same number of inches. Then take your answer and divide your weight, in pounds, by that number. Multiply the answer by 703 and that is your body mass index. If your answer falls between 19 and 25 you are at a healthy weight. Over that means you are overweight and under 19 means you are underweight.

How do you use the body mass index to determine your fat?

Measuring your body mass cannot directly determine your overall body fat. BMI, or Body Mass Index, is designed to determine a healthy weight of a person based on their overall height, age and gender. The reason this index cannot determine your precise body fat is that individuals as the same height with the same BMI may have different body types resulting in the same weight. Overall BMI assists with determining a healthy weight but cannot actually measure you in muscle or fat.
