How to Use the BMI Calculator

Welcome to the BMI Calculator on Weight Watcher Hub. This tool helps you calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI), which is an essential measure of your body weight in relation to your height. By using this tool, you can understand whether you are in a healthy weight range and take necessary steps to improve your overall health.

Steps to Use the BMI Calculator

1. Enter Your Weight: First, input your weight in kilograms (kg). Some calculators may allow you to use pounds (lbs), but make sure to use kilograms for consistency. Learn more about BMI and weight measurements.
2. Enter Your Height: Next, input your height in centimeters (cm) or meters (m). The BMI calculator will automatically convert it into meters for the calculation. If you’re unsure about how to measure your height correctly, check this guide on measuring your height.
3. Click "Calculate BMI": After filling in both your weight and height, click the "Calculate BMI" button. The calculator will compute your BMI using the formula: BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)^2
4. Review Your Results: The BMI result will be displayed along with a description of what that score means. It will categorize your BMI into one of the following categories:
   • Underweight: BMI < 18.5
   • Normal weight: BMI 18.5 – 24.9
   • Overweight: BMI 25 – 29.9
   • Obesity: BMI ≥ 30
   You can refer to the BMI chart for more detailed insights.

Why is BMI Important?

Your BMI is an important indicator of your overall health. It can help you assess whether you are at risk for conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other obesity-related illnesses. A BMI that is too high or too low may signal that you need to adjust your diet or exercise routine.
