Body Mass Index is a calculation based on a person's weight and height that is a good indicator of whether they are overweight, underweight or normal.

BMI is an acronym for Body Mass Index. You find it by taking your weight and dividing it by your height (in inches) squared, then multiplied by 703. The result you get from this is your BMI. 17 and below is underweight, 18 to 24 is normal, 24 to 28 is overweight (I may be off on some of these numbers), and 32 and over is clinically obese.

If you've calculated your BMI you should have seen the recommended span as well, so I don't know if this is a serious question. 11.5 is a dangerously low BMI and you could well stand to gain 40 pounds or so.

Yes, but you have to incorporate diet and exercise.

A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.

Depending on her weight this number may vary and it also depends on her rate of exercise as well. She must consume approximately 1000 calories to function normally. If exercise and other things are thrown into the mix, the woman may need to eat more calories. Eating healthly and more times a day in smaller portions can also promote weight loss. There are also diets if she is trying to lose weight quickly for an operation. Those diets need to be approved by a doctor or a nutritionist because of her age.

Size plays a big factor on how many calories are healthy and acceptable for daily intake. A smaller woman would need to take in under 1500 calories while a larger man may need over 2000 calories.

Not much burning of body fat or weight loss will occur by just doing 150 crunches per day. Reducing your calorie intake, moderately lifting weights in order to increase your metabolism, and participating in some regular cardiovascular exercise, will be more beneficial to weight loss than those 150 daily crunches. You will only see abdominal toning once some of the fatty abdominal layer has been burned- no matter how many crunches you do.

Although the BMI formula for adults and children is the same, the way the results are interpreted differ. Therefore, what is considered a healthy BMI also differs. For adults, an ideal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. A person with a BMI over 24.9 is considered overweight. A person with a BMI under 18.5 is considered underweight.

if your bmi is 21.8 and your 13 it does not mean your fat. it just means that you are the correct weight for your height.

i am 13 and my bmi is 16.9 and yes that means i am underweight but yet i am not skinny. i am perfectly normal. its just my average weight for my height.

Yes, the BMI scale does not take into account body fat percentage, so, it would be possible to be physically fit but clinically "overweight" due to muscle mass. It would also be possible to be "fat" but have a normal BMI, due to a lack of muscle tone.

Nope, that's a pretty good average healthy bmi

what are the 6 ways for assessing body fat content

A BMI (body Mass Index) of 35 is dangerously obese.

BMI is complicated-- the only real way to know your BMI is to get a full-body scan, which measures your fat to muscle to bone rations the most accurately. Oddly enough, they showed this scanner on the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders show on CMT network. Calipers, water displacement, etc are all older, less reliable indicators of BMI. Consult a reputable nutrition /medical clinic for advice on obtaining this scan and remember that BMI should be a range.

You can increase BMI (Body Mass Index) either by eating more or (preferably) exercising a lot and adding muscle.
